I'm a little confused as to what you propose instead.
Suppose I have vim, and the Rust compiler. I want to add RLS level of support to vim. I download some vimscript plugin, and what? Do you distribute the rust language server as a compiled plugin that you add to the address space of the editor at runtime? And if there's a bug, and it segfaults, then it takes down my entire VIM process?
It seems like there's some complexity in directly calling the code with an API too. It's actually not to bad to just open a pipe and communicate.
Maybe I'm missing something, but wrangling compiled plugins seems like it'd be a bad time.
