are there plans to support more languages? not having a single compiled language besides Go feels very limiting

Seems like this might be part of github.com/github/semantic? Supporting this stuff across many languages seems like a huge undertaking, so it may take them some time to add a wide range of them!
I wonder which column is needed to be filled in order to get support for go-to definition. Call graph or Symbols? 'Cause Java and Haskell have check marks in the latter. But not even "under development" in the former.

Yeah not sure! The language I work most in (Rust) isn't on the list, but hopefully if all goes well it will be one day. But yeah, they seem to be doing a great job on such an ambitious project! I'm sure they'll get around to filling in some more of the empty spaces eventually.
