history
Project history and usage
fennel-ls is a language server for Fennel, the Lisp dialect that compiles to Lua.
Project history
The official sourcehut repository identifies fennel-ls as a Language Server for Fennel and exposes the HTTPS clone URL for the canonical source repository.
Adoption history
The input package metadata shows fennel-ls packaged by Homebrew and Nix, reflecting adoption by editor and language-tooling users who want LSP support through package managers.
How it is used
Users install the `fennel-ls` executable and configure per-project behavior with `flsproject.fnl`, as documented by the official manual and installation pages.
Why package nerds care
fennel-ls matters in package-manager culture because it turns a niche Lisp-to-Lua language into a standard editor integration target through the Language Server Protocol.
