Learn-Vim VS nvim-lua-guide

And this comprehensive guide: https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim

As far as books go, Pro Vim helped me a lot. I also really like Learn Vim on Github You might already have a program called vimtutor that walks you through Vim basics.

I am learning through this repo. you can try out.

I found this extremely useful to learn Vim https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim

I first tried the wrong way to learn Vim: memorizing keybindings. That's not helpful at all.

Write way to learn Vim: understanding Vim "grammar" as this repo teaches.

(macro snippets taken from here)

If you want to learn more about buffers, windows, and tabs, check out this chapter from my Vim book: Ch02 - Buffers, Windows, and Tabs (it's free!).

I've been watching this repository, and since the previous release the attention, and number of issues, has exploded! It looks like there is a ton of demand for a faster vs-code style editor that runs natively and cross-platform. Lapce now has more stars than https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim or https://github.com/audacity/audacity , and I think it leads in number of stars for text-editors implemented in Rust.

Nvim Lua guide

My main struggles beyond a simple problem are just the inability to find a way to easily debug things and the general process for setting up a plugin. I mostly work with Python/Jupyter, some C and Lua/Bash scripts, and usually you can either write tests/print debug for smaller scale things or get some stack trace if you have an error. With Neovim development, it just feels like there's nothing more besides update plugin, try on neovim, fail, bash head against wall, and repeat, and that doesn't quite seem efficient or correct - I'm sure there's something out there that should make the process easier. I tried looking online but I haven't found many that really fit my needs (most of the resources here seem more targeted towards creating your own init.lua, and Luadev plugin's commands are all broken (:Luadev-RunLine and any other command keeps telling me I got some trailing space). I'm really just looking to see how to make a snippet library, but there doesn't seem to be much that helps me. If someone could let me know how they debug their plugin or point me to any external resources, please let me know!

I have no guidance for the first point. For the second, checkout the neovim lua guide or : lua-guide

A quick google search turned up this codeacademy class on learning to program in Javascript. I didn't vet the whole thing, but it appears to assume you know nothing, which is what you need. If you go through that, you can then consume one of the resources that /u/luascriptdev post to equate that back to Lua. Again, the concepts translate.
