Just found out about this initiative, great stuff.

I especially like the fact that like Eglot, it seems to be completely
language agnostic and doesn't require little dape-<language>.el
add-ons.

But shouldn't it be using jsonrpc.el?  It seems to implement
that base protocol all over again, much like eglot.el did
in its early days. Was this intentional, is there a limitation
in jsonrpc.el that should be addressed?

As to the name, I think "dape" is fine.
