Hi Stephen,

Look in the bug tracker: there's someone implementing a better
progress indicator with an implementation that looks very good
from what I've seen so far and uses LSP interfaces.

Here it is: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=59149

We can/should try to coalesce the "eglot--spinner" with that.

Thanks,
João
