What Hacker News says

2 sources
A source for LSP growing out of OmniSharp? Interestingly I'm not finding much. This isn't a totally accurate history but it's close enough: https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-use-the-language-server-pr... The original project was at https://github.com/nosami/Omnisharp (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6006954). But over time it was split into several repos. The history article above says that OmniSharp started out on Roslyn, but actually it originally used NRefactory. The old server is here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-server EDIT: Oh, just found https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/P... . This cites OmniSharp and also the TypeScript language server.
In BBEdit 14
> The language server protocol is revolutionary for providing features like intelligent autocomplete to text editors. There have been similar things recently. Jetbrains built an out-of-process version of resharper in order to power Rider. https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/ Omnisharp, which is aimed at providing features like autocomplete to various text editors, has done out-of-process as well: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-server
