stderr is for errors, so yes, it checks out

What I mean is stdout is for computers

Is it true that lsp uses stderr as the communication channel? That strikes me as very odd

Well that's me being confused and not reading sorry

Oh, no, I thought you were making a joke related to “to err is human, to forgive divine” 😅 And yes, at some point stderr was recommended for clients, but there’s a specific channel now

Ah, well. That's a generous reading, thanks. I just meant that it's odd that nvim assumes stderr is for errors cause I usually think of it as the channel for humans

Really⁉️ 🧐

Yep! I'd put most all messages that weren't meant to be machine readable there

But I don't think there's a strong norm for it

This explains why I’m getting funny stuff from gcloud as errors on Neovim!
