Just me and myself trying to build language server for C++ programming language

# LSP overivew #

The idea behind the Language Server Protocol (LSP) is to standardize the protocol for how tools and servers communicate, so a single Language Server can be re-used in multiple development tools, and tools can support languages with minimal effort.

## How it works ##

A language server runs as a separate process and development tools communicate with the server using the language protocol over JSON-RPC. 

Below is an example for how a tool and a language server communicate during a routine editing session:

Detailed LSP specifications: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/ 

## Neovim as client ## 

Nvim supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which means it acts as a client to LSP servers and includes a Lua framework `vim.lsp`.

To configure the LSP client, you can use this example:

```Lua

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {

    pattern = "cpp",

    callback = function()

        local client = vim.lsp.start({

            name = "JustAnLSP",

            cmd = {"/path/to/JustAnLSPServer/binary"}

        })

        if not client then

            vim.notify "No can do for JustAnLSPServer!"

        else

            vim.lsp.buf_attach_client(0, client)

        end

    end

})
