Session about Ionide and FSAutocomplete

fsharp/FsAutoComplete#1066 Motivity

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.

Moving a file feel sluggish because of MSBuild reload

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
