There will be continued work on the lsp, we just didn't know exactly what features.

@jveres SWC bugs are tracked in the SWC repo, where "real world code" is seemingly now a part of the tests for the latest refactor swc-project/swc#1264

I have seen a bit of mis-understanding going on in issues... To be clear, these issue are to broadcast what the core team's priorities are for the quarter, and all of these will be worked on by the core team. If you want to help out, feel free to provide input.

If you want to contribute to Deno though, it is best to look at resolving issues that are not on this list. If it is any sort of significant feature, it is best to get consensus and alignment from the core team before you start on the feature, as without that feedback it will likely only lead to significant delays or even abandonment of your work. The best way to get that feedback is on the issue itself.

At the moment, the core team consists of:

• @ry
• @bartlomieju
• @lucacasonato
• @piscisaureus
• @bnoordhuis
• @kitsonk

There are several other long term contributors who can give you advice and suggestions as well.

This isn't the place to put random comments about a wish list. This is an issue to communicate what the core team is working on. Other suggestions should be made in their own issue or discussions, and with more detail than a couple words.

Q1 is long gone and relevant issues have been rolled to Q3 roadmap.
