Session about Ionide and FSAutocomplete

Watch this session

Problem

• In the Ionide Solution Explorer you can move files around, however this currently requires a complete reload of the solution to see the changes. For larger repositories (like FAKE) this is a sluggish experience.

This issue should allow us to explore multiple projects in the toolchain:

• ionide/proj-info - Parse and evaluate MsBuild project files
• FsAutocomplete - The F# language server using Language Server Protocol
• ionide-vscode-fsharp - VS Code plugin for F# development

Expected behavior

We should find ways to make this seem snappier. Ideas include:

• Using “evaluation” phase of MsBuild to get some properties without having to execute the whole msbuild engine
• Running the msbuild targets for the single project that has changed
