Kinda bummed that not much of eglot’s capabilities were shown. Maybe a future video in which eglot is shown with a bash or a python script buffer would be nice.

Also, I would like to know more about `lsp-mode` vs `eglot` in emacs. Which one should one use? Is this comparison somewhat similar to using `magit` vs `vc-mode` in emacs? Which is bloat, and which isn’t? etc. etc.
