Codenvy, Microsoft, and Red Hat have announced they are adopting a universal Language Server Protocol for integrated development environments.

Microsoft — yes, Microsoft — announced at the DevNation conference in San Francisco that it’s releasing an open-source language server protocol. More interesting still, this is being done in concert with Codenvy and Red Hat.

Microsoft, with Codenvy and Red Hat, have come together to support an open-source univeral bridge between programming languages and integrated development environments.

This may sound shocking. Keep in mind though that Microsoft has been embracing open-source methods at a deep level. And besides that, Microsoft has been working in bringing together Visual Studio with the open-source Eclipse integrated development environment. And, lest we forget, Microsoft just made it possible for you to run SQL Server, .NET Core 1.0, and ASP.NET on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
