The interface should look like LSP; it aims to support everything an IDE
needs from a "language server" (ie parser), and allows for custom
extensions where it falls short.
LSP language servers are implemented in some compiled language, not
elisp; eglot/lsp-mode is just the elisp side of the protocol. The elisp
sends edits and info requests (ie, "insert/delete this text at this
point", "fontify/format this range") to the server, and handles the
responses.
ada-mode works in a similar way, but LSP is an industry standard, so it
is a better choice.
If Emacs has a mode that conforms to the editor side of the LSP
protocol, it can use _any_ LSP language server; they do not have to be
provided by Emacs.
For example, Debian could provide some language servers as packages (I
assume it does now, but I have not checked), and Emacs could just use
them.
