YouCompleteMe VS vim-lsc

For vim specifically, I've been using coc.nvim, which works pretty well for my needs, and I know its quite popular. Another fairly popular one is YouCompleteMe, which I had taken a look at for some other languages; but ended up just using coc as I can't justify using YCM once a year (if that) -- too much "headache" for not a lot of use, you know?

YouCompleteMe. A pretty good autocompletion plugin, though vim does have its own, somewhat useful built-in auto completion that requires more keystrokes

There are plugins to do semantic highlighting. I don't use any of them because I'm satisfied with Vim's native syntax highlighting and with tree-sitter (and also because I don't use LSPs), but searching for "Vim semantic highlighting" on DuckDuckGo yields this: https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe. The highlighting used in its demo is too baroque for my taste, but looking at your VSCode screenshot, it looks like it would be right up your alley.

The plugin that is requiring Python3 is You Complete Me here is the link!! The Vundle link I was looking at is also in the body of my post.

I use vim for C++ coding, however it is a bit difficult to set up to make it productive. I use YouCompleteMe [0] for autocompletion, Vimspector [1] with the C++ plugin for debugging, ALE [2] for linting, along with a few other general plugins (such as NerdTREE for file view).

I didn't make a complete list of requirements :) This issue makes YCM uninteresting to me, so I've not dug too deep into it.

my favorite is YouCompleteMe.

I tried something else that was really slow, jedi worked just fine so I've stuck with that. Running vim-lsc as the client.

There are other alternatives for the LSP ecosystem in vim like vim-lsp which is (I think) just an LSP with autocompletion and warnings (aka, doesn't have the additional features that YCM or ALE have). Or, the more out-of-the-box experience (and also an option not liked by everyone because it can be considered bloated) coc.nvim.

This might be of help https://github.com/natebosch/vim-lsc/issues/352, but I wouldn't recommend installing typescript-language-server using "sudo yarn/npm". Instead I would use system's package manager if the package is available.

Hi Recently, I found https://github.com/natebosch/vim-lsc, it is also there in the Microsoft's LSP page as well. I moved away from CoC because I found it to be 1. Too slow to use on my machine (8 GB, 4 CPU) 2. It is too big as well, has it's own command line and plugins inside vim and it appeared to be a behemoth for just the LSP use case

But actually Mathias(mfussenegger) added the debounce logic, and Nate Bosch (the author of vim-lsc) author gave the commentary/design of the incremental sync logic.

vim-lsc or vim-lamp
