[Feature request] Support for syntax coloring (based on symbol type)

[ItsCubeTime]

Hi, I usually use PyLance with VS Code, however recently I started working with a rather large dependenecy (https://pypi.org/project/vulkan/) which seems to slow down PyLance to a point where it becomes virtually unusable (the language server even seem to crash? It just stops working randomly).

I noticed that Jedi handles this module a lot better, but now Im gravely missing the blue/green/yellow syntax coloring I usually get with PyLance:

This is the same file, with Jedi via Microsofts Python extension:

Is there any chance that we could get support for similar syntax coloring?

Functions (and methods) would get a color of there own (yellow), variables & properties get a color of there own (blue), classes & modules would share the color green. Symbols with unknown type (eg. function parameters that doesnt have any type hinting) would become blue.

Thanks for reading :)

@ItsCubeTime This is something that is not very likely to make it to Jedi, unfortunately. The reason for this is mostly performance.

I am however writing a Jedi/Mypy replacement in Rust. The type checking part (mypy) is already very advanced. I'm keeping this issue open to not forget to implement this eventually. I feel like performance shouldn't be a problem at all in this case for what I'm working on.

Might not be the place to ask, but how's that project going? I've got some projects that jedi struggles with performance-wise, and, following my failures to fix the project sources, jedi, or python-lsp, I'm holding out hope that your new magic bullet is imminent (or, at least, not "any decade now!" 😁)

Since I'm not sure how my priorities are going to be with the Rust project, I would be happy to chat about this for a while. Feel free to send me an email if you'd be up to talk about this for a bit. (My email is in my profile)
