Feature Request: Semantic syntax highlighting

[ajmwagar]

According to Sourcegraph, most langservers currently support semantic syntax highlighting.

I am hoping to get syntax highlighting from my ls in vim.

I know that there is an implementation for c++ with this plugin: https://github.com/JBakamovic/cxxd-vim/

I am hoping to see this as a feature for more/all languages.

Best of luck!

Just a note: vscode-languageserver-node is proposing their semantic highlighting protocol extension.

Thanks. Good to see progress in this field.

The eclipse java language server already has an implementation based on the protocol extension proposal.

clangd also gained support for semantic syntax highlighting based on the proposed protocol extension: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clangd/Features.html#complete-list-of-features
