I'm just wondering if anyone could explain what the "visitor" thing is doing? From what I can gather so far it just seems to be visiting each node in the parsed AST but doesn't seem to be doing much.

Eli Dowling (Dec 02 2024 at 15:26):@Luke Boswell
I can give some insight into that. We mostly use it in the lsp to drill down into the current scope of the cursor or a hover and figure out what should be available for completion at that point.
Eli Dowling (Dec 02 2024 at 15:27):You can see the visitor.ts in the completion directory which I believe implements that trait too
