Description:
A Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation using universal-ctags as backend, supporting 100+ languages. This won't replace your dedicated language server, and it doesn't try to. The goal is to have a "better than nothing" language server that's trivial to setup for any language. NOTE: This requires universal-ctags to be built with the JSON option enabled (which it is by default).

devel/ctags-lsp: Add port

This is an LSP that uses universal-ctags, making it both
language-agnostic and compatible with the vast array of languages
that uctags can parse.

However, that also means that it's limited to the data in a tags file,
meaning things like tracking references is off the table. But, it is,
as the author notes, "better than nothing."

Instructions for enabling the LSP in Neovim and Helix can be found
at the WWW: https://github.com/netmute/ctags-lsp
