May be we should use rescript to write the ide plugin `rescript-vscode`

As the title, i have found a lot of bugs and problems when coding rescript with the plugin rescript-vscode(i have finished a personal project with rescript). As far as i known, the plugin was written by typescript. Much details of syntax popup of rescript may be lost when using typescript to write the plugin. If you do not use the language, how can you find the problem of it?

For information: The extension and language server parts are indeed in TS, and the analysis parts (that’s what’s actually producing the syntax popups etc) is written in OCaml (and needs to be in OCaml since it’s leveraging native compiler libs to do analysis).

What do you mean “if you do not use the language, how can you find the problem of it?”, could you expand on that?
