Future Plans (created 7/24/2024)

See Salve #32 for full details.

The plans for this organization are to host six main tools:

• Salve
• Albero
• Token Tools
• Some good LSP client
• A good PEG parser
• Collegamento

Each of these tools has a very different purpose I will briefly explain:

• Salve is meant to be a backup for syntax highlighting, definitions, autocompletions, definitions, etc while also providing common tools like editorconfig support and link/hidden character finding. Most of the tools are very easy and flexible to use but some (like definitions) require a good amount of customization on a per-language basis. Salve does not provide pre-made settings for any languages like other projects will).
• Albero provides a good API for using Tree Sitter for syntax highlighting. It provides pre-made mappings for languages that have pre-made Tree Sitter packages on pypi.
• Token Tools provides a definitive format for Token's and makes everything consistent across projects. Not a main tool for users in and of itself but certainly useful.
• The LSP client will provide the nicest API for working with LSP's out there but will require a air amount of customization. It will not provide any pre-packaged Language Servers and all will be provided by the user. It will, however, be incredibly flexible for any use case and do most of the heavy lifting for the user behind the scenes.
• The PEG parser will be way to get lexical analysis of any random language given a Grammar class as input and will return the common Token type. Pre-made Grammar's for common languages will probably come with it. It will need to be an incremental parser as well. Will likely be based on parsimonious and gpeg. At some point I will make it possible to give a grammar to
• Collegamento will simplify creating tools that require such a backend as to make the API's more consistent and take the major computing workload off the main thread. Salve, Albero, and the eventual LSP client tool will use this. Not a main tool for users in and of itself but certainly useful.

Current progress:

• Salve
• Albero (still needs more mappings)
• Token Tools
• LSP client
• PEG parser
• Collegamento
