    This should be called Python Type Server Protocol, no? Seems weird to mine the generic protocol namespace for a protocol that only supports Python. Especially coming from the company behind LSP, which actually is generic.

      It is namespaced under the pylance project. I also don't see any announcement here, just a markdown file.

      Perhaps the post title could use a tweak

      I do wonder if it generalizes outside of python similar to how LSPs do.

      100% - it would make more sense if they also supported elixir or other dynamic languages

    Is there any application for that, except python?

    So basically adding machine readable type-at-point queries as an lsp extension so Pylance and Pywright can be separated?

    The 'result types'format is super python specific, like not having a for all binder. I don't think this specific schema will be used for any non-python languages.

    It kept with UTF-16. New protocol is a chance to correct that poor decision.

    Interesting, LSP, DAP, MCP, and TSP now...

      TSP : TriSodium Phosphate. Very good for cleaning up a mess.

    Type-shed, type-server. When can this Python madness stop? How about using CORBA to make it even more enterprisey?

    Why don't you spend your resources on F# instead of this nonsense?
