## Programming Language Support & Semantic Analysis Capabilities
There are two backends for Serena's semantic code analysis and editing capabilities:
Serena provides a set of versatile code querying and editing functionalities
based on symbolic understanding of the code.
Equipped with these capabilities, Serena discovers and edits code just like a seasoned developer
making use of an IDE's capabilities would.
Serena can efficiently find the right context and do the right thing even in very large and
complex projects!
There are two alternative technologies powering these capabilities:
* **Language servers** implementing the language server Protocol (LSP) — the free/open-source alternative.
* **The Serena JetBrains Plugin**, which leverages the powerful code analysis and editing
capabilities of your JetBrains IDE.
Both backends provide a set of versatile code querying and editing functionalities
based on symbolic understanding of the code.
Equipped with these capabilities, Serena discovers and edits code just like a seasoned developer

Serena can efficiently find the right context and do the right thing even in very large and

You can choose either of these backends depending on your preferences and requirements.
### Language Servers
Language servers provide support for a wide range of programming languages.
Serena incorporates a powerful abstraction layer for the integration of language servers
that implement the language server protocol (LSP).
The underlying language servers are typically open-source projects (like Serena) or at least freely available for use.
With Serena's LSP library, we provide **support for over 30 programming languages**, including
AL, Bash, C#, C/C++, Clojure, Dart, Elixir, Elm, Erlang, Fortran, Go, Groovy (partial support), Haskell, Java, Javascript, Julia, Kotlin, Lua, Markdown, Nix, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Swift, TOML, TypeScript, YAML, and Zig.
