LSP server for editor integration

[Nadrieril]

For best editor integration, it'd be awesome to have a LSP (Language Server Protocol) implementation for neuron. It could potentially provide autocompletion of links, automatically showing the link title next to a link, make links clickable, show backlinks, etc., and all this in an editor-agnostic way. That would greatly improve the experience of editing zettels with neuron.

In theory one could also do things like new note creation (eg: felko/neuron-mode#28) -- so all editors can just delegate to neuron in that aspect -- however I'm not sure if that's in the scope of LSP.

I think we can have some kind of a hack here. Go-to-definition provides the mechanism for going to a different file and we could provide "note creation" as a codeaction.

Renaming of links could also be a functionality for an LSP. Go-to-definition as @sureyeaah mentioned of course. Now sure if views like backlinking would be implemented an an LSP level.

Other suggestion: easy creation of a new note using current selection as the title

Another: "refactor" by renaming a tag across the zettelkasten.

@srid Are you working on this? or anyone?
I'm interested.

@aca I'm not working on this. But @trevortknguyen was looking into this. Trevor, are you still interested? If so perhaps you two can collaborate?

@aca You might want to join Matrix, the project channel.

There will be an "official" neuron lsp implentation in haskell.
Until then, you might want to try https://github.com/aca/neuron-language-server.

@aca I can help with the "official" neuron lsp!
