Microsoft Open Sources Multilspy: Simplifying Language Server Client Development

2024-12-17

Microsoft has open-sourced Multilspy, a Python library designed to simplify building applications around language servers. Supporting Java, Rust, C#, and Python, Multilspy automates downloading server binaries, setup/teardown, and provides a simple API. It interacts with language servers to obtain static analysis results like code completion, symbol definitions, and references—crucial for AI-assisted code generation techniques such as Monitor-Guided Decoding.
