> I'm excited to see how neovim is making progress with native LSP, but for years getting it working meant continuously tweaking vimscript/lua code or adopting a plugin written in TypeScript. Lua and native LSP supports were introduced at the same time. Not getting how you would tweak Lua code to get LSPs to work before Neovim had native support. > LSP just worked; it read what was on the $PATH and used it. This is how Neovim loads LSPs as well. You don't need a plugin to download and manage LSPs. You can just install them externally yourself. > not spending any time configuring LSP servers were the top problems plaguing my usage of neovim. It's been years since it's just a few lines to enable LSPs with the config shipped in nvim-lspconfig if you don't want to override any server-specific settings. And even then its still pretty easy. I will give you that Neovim should ship with nvim-lspconfig and just load a compatible LS if its already in the PATH. Enabling each server one wants to use is annoying. But again, it's just a few lines (and I'm pretty sure a lot of people wage war if they did either of those things because "bloat"). | ||

I don't think my config works anymore (to my earlier point), but this is the balance I struck when I used neovim: https://github.com/jzelinskie/dotfiles/blob/426768c61078a77c... I'd explicitly configure which servers were triggered which filetypes (aka autocmd and when I first started doing this, the binding for autocmd didn't even exist in lua yet) and have to bind lsp functions to keybindings across languages. FWIW, I have no idea what I would've done in vimscript, lua is a godsend with tables, loops, and lambdas. At this point in time, I was an early adopter neovim's built-in LSP and everyone else was recommending coc.nvim. But the juxtaposition at the time was that Helix ships `languages.toml` that includes all of this already out of the box. You can override it, if you want, but actually all I wanted was cohesive keybindings for basic LSP functions. What's the state of the world for neovim today? | ||
