+# language server for ctags
+
+Initial version is written in python.
+
+The goal of this is for the language server to detect changes in a ctags file
+in the pwd, and update the internal representation of the code based on that.
+
+No automatic calling of ctags, the user is responsible for keeping it updated
+as and when they like.
+
+Hope to sort all possible go to definitions somewhat intelligently based on the
+current path of the file.
+
+Fuzzy completions?
+
+Built with [pygls](https://github.com/openlawlibrary/pygls).
