Support for Zed

[DLBPointon]

Hi all,

I've started working on a zed plugin for the LSP as part of #56 .

It's not in a great spot at the minute as it needs the language server up on npm registry and the currently tree sitter i'm using could do with some updating. Here it is if you want a look: https://github.com/DLBPointon/zed_nextflow.

We are working on an official tree-sitter grammar here: https://github.com/nextflow-io/tree-sitter-nextflow

I've been wanting to try Zed for a while but couldn't because I was on windows. Now that I'm back on Linux I'll have to check it out. I will look into the npm requirement

@ewels did we ever claim the @nextflow-io namespace on npm? I see that we have @seqera

Not that I'm aware of. @nextflow-io or just @nextflow?

@DLBPointon it looks like you can integrate a language server without npm: https://zed.dev/docs/extensions/languages#language-servers

I think you can just implement some interface in the Rust code. Here is a comparable example for Zig: https://github.com/zed-extensions/zig/blob/main/src/zig.rs

Let me know how it goes, and I might give it a shot myself when I have some time.

Either way, once we're ready, we can register it as an official extension: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions

@ewels never mind, npm not urgent anymore. We have @seqera and I don't expect we'll need to publish anything nextflow-specific any time soon

Thanks for the comments,

Good news on the tree sitter! Once it has some queries, then I can switch over to it.

I've gone through again and rewritten it based on Zig, to me it looks like it should be doing something, especially as it compiles and installs fine... no error logging at all. But it's very likely I'm not experienced enough in writing Rust this way.

It would be great to get this to the point it can be registered as an official extension.

Edit: would be helpful if i shared the branch right. https://github.com/DLBPointon/zed_nextflow/tree/original
