The article discusses the author's transition from lsp-mode to Eglot for language server protocol (LSP) support in GNU Emacs, highlighting the benefits of Eglot's simpler setup and better integration with Emacs' built-in features. It provides a practical comparison between the two packages and explains why the author found Eglot to be a more suitable choice for their workflow.
Background
Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a protocol that provides language features like auto-completion, go-to-definition, and documentation on hover for code editors. Both lsp-mode and Eglot are popular implementations for adding LSP support to Emacs, with different approaches to integration and configuration.
