Tags files have one small drawback, though: They lack scope information (local definitions) and TTCN-3 semantics (ambiguous symbols). But if this really justifies a fancy pants language server, depends on how easy the server is to set up and how mature ntt becomes. So currently you don't get that many benefits. But, I expect the benefits of the TTCN-3 language server will play out in the late game: * when more features will be integrated into ntt. Like automatic formatting, semantically correct renaming, semantic highlighting, code-smell detection, ... * when third party software (ctags, highlight.js, ttcn3.vim, ...) requires updates due to new TTCN-3 language features, like map-types, object oriented extension, ... > In your logo, is that a squirrel? This is when you ask software engineer to design a logo (https://ahseeit.com//king-include/uploads/2020/12/building-ask-network-engineer-design-frontend-fbyuvakrishnamemes-4688096727.jpg) It's based on the Go mascot (https://golang.org), because I like Go and ntt is written in it.

I use a ttcn.vim syntax file I found somewhere, the header says: Maintainer: Stefan Karlsson <[email protected]> It works well. Never heard of the "language server protocol". All i really need is syntax highlighting and tags. Otherwise I always use vim's ctrl-p and ctrl-n for auto completion (and tags to look up argument ordering).
