As an avid hater of new goals, is the plan to prefix goal names that should be rolled up elsewhere (someday) have a
preview
or
experimental
ala • experimental-bspexperimental-deployexperimental-explorer
Wasn't sure if this was a planned convention, or just kinda sprung/sprang up organically

Goals meant to be top level or language-specific goals? Language-specific debug goals should not need a stability prefix in my view.

top level (ie. completions)
f
at least for the
experimental-bsp
goal, it was organic to decide that it shouldn't be mistaken for stable and then asked what prefix to use (which was semi-planned and was before the discussion to use "prefix" over "experimental"). The BSP support has a bunch of caveats and I didn't want users to mistake that is only works in very narrow circumstances (scala/java with IntelliJ).

👍 Understood
c
likewise with
experimental-explorer
— not planned to be rolled up under another goal, but also not yet a “complete” feature as-is, hence marking it experimental felt like the right thing to do for now, so in some future I think the idea is to simply drop the experimental prefix for the explorer goal.
with that said, I’m not sure if it needs to be a goal at all… or there should be some other mechanism to start/manage the backend server for the explorer.
