This should be called Python Type Server Protocol, no? Seems weird to mine the generic protocol namespace for a protocol that only supports Python. Especially coming from the company behind LSP, which actually is generic.

This is the company that named its web framework "MVC". At least this time they're not eternally polluting search results for an industry standard term.

It is namespaced under the pylance project. I also don't see any announcement here, just a markdown file.

Perhaps the post title could use a tweak

100% - it would make more sense if they also supported elixir or other dynamic languages

I do wonder if it generalizes outside of python similar to how LSPs do.
