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?

Research direction
This issue proposes implementing a language server for Coconut. Research existing LSP implementations in Python (e.g., pylsp) as a starting point. Investigate how to parse and analyze Coconut code using the compiler's AST or a custom parser. Review the 9 comments for additional context and any initial design ideas. Consider whether to build from scratch or extend an existing Python LSP to support Coconut's syntax.
