Hey! I'm the author of the decision to "open-source" it in its current form.

Previous commenters nailed it -- it's much better to make the LSP generally accessible now -- to use it, to explore, to iterate on the actual feedback and not on the internal echo-chamber instead of cooking it internally for ~one year to make it fully OSS.

And not having to fight an uphill battle with the internal codebase (we have plenty of experience here -- Kotlin itself is fully OSS while IDEA part is mirrored through the internal monorepo) makes wonders.

These are basically IJ parts. No new dependencies, no statistics, no internet access from this code. It is also not obfuscated, so if you really worry about the contents -- any public bytecode decompiler will do.


I wonder though, do you expect good LSP to be available for commercial use free of charge?


No, it's fine if I have to pay (but I said as much in my initial post, didn't I?).

A kotlin project paid my bills for a long time, so I am totally fine investing 200bucks/year.

But I don't want to use IdeaVim anymore, I want the real deal NeoVim, configured how I love it!
