I made a MIT licensed Mecrisp-Stellaris Language Server.

It was developed and tested on the Helix editor but it should work with any LSP capabale editor once configured for it. It uses a Sqlite database containing the default Mecrisp-Stellaris Dictionary, and also prints examples for each word.

See all the details here:

Congratulations @techman. What’s next for Mecrisp-Stellaris?

Nothing, sadly.

Mecrisp-Stellaris was abandoned about two years ago by the German Genius who designed it in 2013. He had started working in aerospace and fell in-love with FPGA design and out-of-love with microprocessors.

Plus I think he had taken Mecrisp-Stellaris as far as he could and run into some serious expansion bottlenecks (painted himself into a corner).

My Language Server was only to replace the awkward CLI API search tool I included with FURS with something that every programmer wants to use while writing code and the Mecrisp-Stellaris capability was just my warm-up/test program for it.

So I’m adding FURS capability to the LSP right now and hope to release that in the next week or so.

That will complete FURS for me and I can get back to my hardware projects at last!
