Description

Thanks to Microsoft's language server protocol there are tons of opensource implementation of LSP in other languages (there are even two implementations for python).

I would like to start a discussion on how it would look like for Coconut. Also what about static code analysis like flake8 or pylint, what would that look like?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Language Server Protocol specification and existing LSP implementations for Python like languages. Explore how Coconut's syntax and semantics could be mapped to LSP features like autocompletion, go to definition, and diagnostics. Consider static analysis integration similar to flake8 or pylint.
