(Neo)Vim in 2024

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Neovim today uses Lua-based configuration, starts in about 30 ms, and provides native LSP (since 0.5) for completion, diagnostics, go-to and formatting via mason and nvim-lspconfig. It uses tree-sitter for real parsing, syntax coloring and AST-aware edits, nvim-cmp with luasnip for completion/snippets, leader-key mappings (space) and motion shortcuts (e.g., 14K), and debugging via nvim-dap with breakpoints, continue, and an HTTP curl demo showing pause/resume.
