[[!template text="""You can think of it as like a security linter.""" start="00:00:24.760" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Normal linters will say, hey,""" start="00:00:27.800" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you wrote ugly code, fix it.""" start="00:00:30.120" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""We support 30+ languages,""" start="00:00:35.080" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Why does that matter?""" start="00:00:39.320" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Well, our goal is to show security bugs""" start="00:00:40.720" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""as early as possible in the development cycle.""" start="00:00:42.780" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""In the industry, we call this shifting left.""" start="00:00:45.240" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And so how far left can we shift? The editor.""" start="00:00:48.480" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So that's why it matters""" start="00:00:52.960" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""that our customers have different editors.""" start="00:00:53.620" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Our goal is to have Semgrep and the editor""" start="00:00:56.080" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""show up like other language tooling.""" start="00:00:58.920" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And what I mean by that is I wrote some bad OCaml up here,""" start="00:01:01.320" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and the editor gave me that red squiggly and said,""" start="00:01:05.200" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""fix your OCaml, and we want Semgrep to do something similar.""" start="00:01:07.600" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And so our goal then is to provide a similar experience""" start="00:01:12.200" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to normal language checking.""" start="00:01:15.520" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And then since we're a small startup,""" start="00:01:16.920" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and there's a ton of different IDEs that our customers use,""" start="00:01:19.000" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""for every single type of editor out there.""" start="00:01:24.920" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Our other goal is abstract away""" start="00:01:27.560" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""editing and language features for editors to one code base.""" start="00:01:29.160" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Ideally, we write it once""" start="00:01:32.120" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and then plug it into all of them.""" start="00:01:33.880" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So how can we do that, though?""" start="00:01:35.800" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Well, in the process of working on this stuff,""" start="00:01:37.880" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""the Language Server Protocol.""" start="00:01:43.000" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And what's great about the Language Server Protocol is""" start="00:01:44.880" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it's a specification that defines all the ways""" start="00:01:47.280" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""that these language tools might interact""" start="00:01:50.320" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""with a development tool. And by development tool,""" start="00:01:52.680" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I mean like VS Code, Sublime, Emacs, any of those.""" start="00:01:56.880" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And by language tool, I mean something like PyRight, MyPy.""" start="00:02:01.600" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So what's cool about LSP is that""" start="00:02:07.280" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you can separate out those tools into language servers""" start="00:02:09.320" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and the development tools into language clients.""" start="00:02:13.000" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And because they share this common specification,""" start="00:02:15.520" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""they can now interact without knowing each other.""" start="00:02:18.080" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So it's this great abstraction that means""" start="00:02:20.360" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""all you have to do is go write one language server""" start="00:02:22.800" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and you can hook it up to a bunch of language clients""" start="00:02:25.440" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and it'll just work.""" start="00:02:27.440" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So let's do a quick case study on language servers in LSP,""" start="00:02:29.040" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""just so you get an idea of why this is super cool.""" start="00:02:34.040" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So there's this language server called Rust Analyzer.""" start="00:02:37.240" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It's a language server for the Rust language.""" start="00:02:40.440" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""If you've ever developed in Rust,""" start="00:02:42.880" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you'll know that takes a really long time to compile,""" start="00:02:44.120" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but the compiler gives you fantastic feedback.""" start="00:02:46.960" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Rust has a lot of advanced language features,""" start="00:02:50.360" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""A bunch of advanced language features in Rust Analyzer""" start="00:03:12.200" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""helps you manage all that""" start="00:03:15.080" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and gives you all that info""" start="00:03:16.200" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Developing with the Rust Analyzer""" start="00:03:19.220" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is just orders of magnitude easier""" start="00:03:21.520" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Rust Analyzer, fantastic. They went and they developed it,""" start="00:03:26.520" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and now you can go use that in Emacs, NeoVim,""" start="00:03:30.920" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""VS Code, wherever.""" start="00:03:33.640" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So you can develop Rust in a way that's relatively efficient""" start="00:03:35.240" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""without having to give up your favorite editor.""" start="00:03:39.080" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So here's a quick little demo""" start="00:03:42.760" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""of all the cool things it can do.""" start="00:03:44.400" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So you can see I typed an error.""" start="00:03:46.320" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It tells me that I wrote an error.""" start="00:03:48.120" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I used the incorrect lifetime,""" start="00:03:50.720" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""and it'll let me know that.""" start="00:03:54.160" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I expanded a Rust macro just there,""" start="00:03:55.160" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""I didn't have to go and type any commands or anything.""" start="00:04:05.440" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It just worked.""" start="00:04:07.840" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So why is this just useful in general for a user?""" start="00:04:09.960" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Well, you get the same experience across editors.""" start="00:04:13.400" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""one editor for another""" start="00:04:17.120" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Performance is not dependent on the editor.""" start="00:04:27.860" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""That's fantastic because to do all that Rust stuff,""" start="00:04:31.240" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it takes a lot of CPU power,""" start="00:04:35.440" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""if your editor language is not great, not fast.""" start="00:04:40.500" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And then bug fixes, updates, all that,""" start="00:04:43.680" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it all comes out at the same time.""" start="00:04:47.800" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""adding new editors is quick and easy.""" start="00:04:53.400" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""For reference, when I wrote the Semgrep language server,""" start="00:04:55.360" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it took me maybe two or three weeks,""" start="00:04:58.700" video="mainVideo-lspocaml" id="subtitle"]]
