Hi @hemram,
I have a small update from Uber:
1. We are waiting for a decision from JB on what parts of the code will be open-sourced and what collaboration is possible.
2. While we are waiting, we think it is worth starting to work on a fully open-source and lightweight (but of course simpler and with fewer features) implementation of the language server based on the Analysis API and without the heavy IntelliJ parts.
3. Also, it is worth working on components that can be easily ported to other implementations, like support for the debugger protocol and Bazel.
4. Of course, we should talk with @Ksenia Korovina, @Andrés and @Gustavo Gamino to join our efforts.
