Introducing Dexter: A High-Performance LSP for Elixir

Dexter is a newly developed Elixir Language Server Protocol (LSP) that aims to address performance issues encountered with existing LSPs, particularly when handling large codebases. The tool supports features such as fast indexing, go-to-definition, hover documentation, and more, making it suitable for both large monorepos and smaller projects. Its unique approach involves parsing source files directly instead of relying on compiled code, resulting in quick and accurate performance. Jesse, the main contributor, highlights the positive feedback received from initial internal use at Remote and expresses a desire to open-source the project for wider community benefit. Dexter's optimizations and features aim to enhance the development experience for Elixir programmers, especially those battling large and complex codebases.
