# Writing a Language Server In OCaml for Emacs, fun, and profit
Austin Theriault (he/they) - last name prounounced tare -e -o, <mailto:austin@cutedogs.org>

[[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/lspocaml-before)" raw="yes"]]

Recently, while working at Semgrep, Inc. I wrote a language server for our
SAST tool in OCaml:
<https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep/tree/develop/src/language_server>. I
then added support for it to emacs
<https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/clients/lsp-semgrep.el>.
In this talk I plan to go over what LSP is, why it's important, getting
started writing a language server, and supporting a language server in
Emacs.

About the speaker:

Austin Theriault is a software engineer at Semgrep, Inc. working on
their SAST tool Semgrep. In this talk he will cover the Language
Server Protocol, a way to provide language features to an editor, why
it's important to the future of editors, and how someone might go
about writing a server, and how to integrate it with Emacs.
