Yeah at first I thought the Lean lsp was so cool and slick, but then over time I grew to prefer the agda-mode in emacs, with its manual control over reloading.

Of course, it's a lot more work to go outside of the lsp model, and sadly vscode support is probably important for pterodactyl because you don't want to waste a class every semester teaching students how to install emacs...

I feel like the ideal experience would be a clutch pedal: you hold it down while you are making an edit and the lsp takes a chill pill, and then you release it when you are done and you get up to date semantic information.

I do think that continual semantic highlighting is nice, just I don't want the squiggly underlines causing me stress.
