I know I should build it myself but I wish Janet, as a Lisp, had better integration with Emacs. There are some modes but they're scattered and not really up to date.

Does Janet have a language server yet? That would go a long way, but last time I checked it did not
Do any lisps have a "language server"? They kinda are their own language server right?
If you mean something like SLIME/SLY, than yeah, but I guess I never considered that a language server in the same way as all the other LSP backends.
Why not? There is an external IDE (SLIME in GNU Emacs) which interacts with a language server to get information about syntax highlighting, completion, documentation, source locations, ...
The idea of an 'inferior Lisp' connected to a GNU Emacs has a long tradition. Usually one did communicate with a Lisp as a process on the same machine. That was long before SLIME. Popular were ILISP (1990) or ELI (for Allegro CL).
The purpose is a more general, providing evaluation/compilation, backtraces, inspectors, browsers, etc.
Guiser fills the role of a language server for Guile and a handful of other Schemes.

Oh, thats.. certainly not encouraging.. Because other than that, Janet seems interesting. Well.. Maybe one day, we will have good emacs integration, I guess?
