history

Project history and usage

dhall-lsp-server is the editor-facing language server for Dhall. It packages the Dhall implementation as an LSP backend so editors can surface diagnostics, hover types, completion, formatting, linting, and import-related actions while users edit configuration files.

Project history

The dhall-lsp-server README places it inside the dhall-haskell project as the actual LSP server backend. It distinguishes the backend from VSCode/ium client extensions and says the server implements language features in an editor-agnostic way.

Adoption history

The official text-editor configuration guide documents use with Vim, Emacs, and Visual Studio Code-style environments, while the dhall-lsp-server README describes the VSCode/ium plugin pairing. That is adoption in the developer-tooling sense: the package makes Dhall usable as something edited with feedback, not just batch-rendered into JSON or YAML.

How it is used

Users install dhall-lsp-server, put it on PATH, and configure an editor LSP client to launch it for Dhall files. Official docs describe completion, document formatting, hover, parse/type diagnostics, clickable imports, freeze/refreeze import actions, and formatting/linting commands.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, dhall-lsp-server is the piece that turns a compiler-oriented language package into a daily editor dependency. It also shows the modern split between language core packages, editor client extensions, and a separately packaged server binary.

Timeline

  • 2017: dhall-haskell public releases included the broader Dhall toolchain that dhall-lsp-server later ships within.
  • 2026: Official Dhall documentation continues to document editor configuration around dhall-lsp-server.

Related projects

  • vscode-language-dhall supplies syntax highlighting, vscode-dhall-lsp-server supplies an LSP client extension, and dhall-haskell supplies the backend package. dhall-json and other sibling packages provide non-editor command-line integrations.
