phar

[drzraf]

Can't the server be provided as a phar file? Easier to download, run, reuse, move, reference in editor's configuration and probably improved performances (files/memory).

This would apparently bring many benefits.

Doubt there would be any performance gains. Do you use it with some other editor than vscode?

It would probably be doable, the same way as phpactor does it.

I intend to use it with emacs.

I understand. I will try to setup a build process, when time permits.
