@MikhailArkhipov This issue along with auto import feature are what we are missing the most yet they gets the least attention. I understand that there were other priorities but 2019 is coming in 10 days, will we ever see auto import or auto indent at this rate?

@DonJayamanne @jakebailey When are these going to be addressed? You mentioned stability issues were a priority, but now Jupyter and notebook issues are taking precedence over everything else. Auto Import and these formatting features are what the community is after. Did you do a survey to measure demand for notebook/these features? Because I'm fairly certain more users would demand quality of life improvements over a feature that hasn't had nearly enough upvotes, if any?

Jupyter and notebook issues are taking precedence over everything else.

Not sure where you are getting this information. We have a completely separate team working on that. And another dedicated team working on language server.

We have a team working on the language server. As you mentioned they are working on stabilizing the LS. Assistance in speeding up this work such as testing development build, PRs, PR reviews is always welcome.

Please be patient.
