  • Yes

Package name

ccls

Package homepage

Languages

c

How is this package distributed?

so, I know the history of ccls in mason, it was removed because of the lack of precompiled binaries

I opened an issue on ccls's github to provide binaries for releases, if they do so, great, if not, then I'd be willing to provide up-to-date binaries for ccls, if so, note that I'd be compiling it on linux

if said conditions are met, would you reimplement ccls? my main language is C, clangd is honestly bad, and I don't want to add more plugins to my config than I have to
