Description
It's a little perplexing that fwcd/kotlin-language-server is marked deprecated, because the suggested replacement Kotlin/kotlin-lsp:
- is not open source,
- does not have a stable release,
- does not accept contributions,
- goes months between versions that can be run,
- is marked as "experimental, pre-alpha, exploratory",
- and seemingly is never planned for open source (unless I misunderstand what the plan to have an "explicit dependency on IntelliJ" means).
Maybe there is a reason for fwcd/kotlin-language-server or a successor to continue to exist?
