Why don't people explain their acronyms? What is a Rust LSP?
People communicate with regards to the audience they expect.
This is why Rust (it’s a systems programming language) and LSP (the language server protocol invented by VS Code) are not explained in the article.
I am hoping I don’t have to define the words I used, but if in doubt, Google or ChatGPT are your friends.
It makes sense to always explain acronyms. I always do to avoid random people reaching out for more explanations
Language Server Protocol, it's what your IDE (like VSCode or other) uses to do linting, syntax checking, and "go to reference" stuff.
LSP is a well known term among programmers these days.
Not if an LLM writes your code. I get thousands of lines of high quality Rust per day without ever stepping into VScode.
