It's certainly worth considering. I'd look at existing support
for JVM languages - maybe Java itself:
https://github.com/georgewfraser/vscode-javac
However, that seems to be javac API, so it may only be useful
in terms of concepts.
This might be more useful:
https://github.com/TypeFox/ls-api/tree/master/io.typefox.lsapi/src/main/java/io/typefox/lsapi
It would be even more useful to find a language implementation that uses the
above library.
