DESCRIPTION:[LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) ha
 s greatly standardised the behaviour of IDEs\, in a good direction: we can
  provide\, _de-facto_\, decent language support in editors supporting LSP.
  \nBut it also imposes a standardisation that often assumes that all langu
 ages behave like TypeScript. In this presentation\, I'll introduce you to 
 [Merlin](https://github.com/ocaml/merlin)\, the IDE service library for OC
 aml\, and cover the custom features (via _code-action_ and _custom-request
 _) that enhance the OCaml development experience (covering expression dest
 ructuring\, expression construction\, search by types (_à la hoogle_\, di
 rectly in the IDE)\, type enclosures etc.).  \n\nThe aim of the presentati
 on was to show how to go beyond the default features offered by LSP and of
 fer a development experience adapted to a more expressive language.
