Work is being continued in the official svelte language-tools repo

Svelte Language Server

A language server (implementing the language server protocol) for Svelte.

What is a language server?

From https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/overview

The idea behind a Language Server is to provide the language-specific smarts inside a server that can communicate with development tooling over a protocol that enables inter-process communication.

In simpler terms, this allows editor and addon devs to add support for svelte specific 'smarts' (e.g. diagnostics, autocomplete, etc) to any editor without reinventing the wheel.
