Microsoft: Language Server Protocol

> The first version of the protocol is based on experiences we gained while integrating OmniSharp and the TypeScript Server into VS Code.

Omnisharp is an amazing project which is helping making the dotnet ecosystem a pleasant to use across your platform or IDE of choice.Their work on the extensions for Atom,VIM,Brackets, VS code etc for csharp is amazing. https://github.com/OmniSharp

With this protocol being open and support from Redhat , eclipse and many SDKs already available, it would be quite easy to extend this to add support for any languages to any IDE.
