Pretty sure LSPs communicate by stdin/out don't they?

Agree generally.. But I gotta admit, MS's LSP protocol has been successfully implemented by many non-MS IDEs. I'm doubtful this would be the case had they defined a c api instead.

I looked it up and apparently this is left unspecified[0]. So I suppose I take that back!

Also yeah, I use LSPs and I myself don't have a strong grasp of the use of dynamically linked libraries. I don't mean it as a put-down of web programmers (I am one). There is value in this microservice type approach, though it does feel very "webby".

They communicate by all possible OS IPC protocols.
