GNU Debugger "GDB" Adds Support For Microsoft's Debug Adapter Protocol
GDB with gdb -i dap allows you to debug any language that GDB can debug from within Emacs' dap-mode: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Emacs as IDE
Debugging (kind of an IDE feature) is a little harder. Out of the box, Emacs can at least debug emacs-lisp (with built-in features) and C (via gdb integration). Beyond that, take a look at dap-mode for other language options. Similarly, take a look at lsp-mode or eglot for code completion, more advanced linting, etc.

Eglot has landed on master: Emacs now has a built-in LSP client
At least for web development I believe eglot is strictly worse. It does not support running multiple servers (e.g. tsserver and eslint-ls) (https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/976) which is supported by lsp-mode and neovim's built-in lsp client. Also, it does not have any equivalent to dap-mode which is lsp-mode only. Although worth noting dap-mode is currently useless for js (https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/369).

EGlot as LSP - Interface & DAP
Hi, as it seems EGlot will receive the blessing of inclusion into vanilla Emacs. That makes me wonder how I am supposed to use dap-mode at it swaps in lsp-mode as a dependency.

Debugging GameBoy Advance (GBA) programs/games in Emacs
We will use dap-mode with the dap-gdb-lldb option here. Under the hood, it uses the debug adapter from the Native Debug VSCode extension. Configuring it is described on the dap-mode webpages. After we have configured dap-mode, we could in theory reuse the launch.json configurations from the VSCode related articles above. That will require that you also use lsp-mode, as dap-launch depends on the lsp-workspace-root function and will not resolve when lsp-mode is not used. I don't use lsp-mode with C (company-clang and company-c-headers provide what I need), so the next logical solution would be to create a debug template ourselves:

John Carmack: Best Programming Setup and IDE – Lex Fridman Podcast Clips
Hmm it does seem like Emacs is growing support for the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), the LSP-alike convention that allows language developers to build language-specific debuggers that tie into the VSCode UI: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Programming in Python
So, what do you need: - Language server for Python (lsp and lsp-ui) Use lsp-mode it's more reach with features at the moment https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/installation/ - Real-time program debugging (dap-mode) https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

lsp-mode vs eglot
Seems like too much work and the issue has been closed and not reopened since 2018 sadly. It looks like it won't be happening any time soon. https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/2

JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry
I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.
These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig
This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...
For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.
pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server
Best of luck! Happy hacking.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Adding language support it neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.

A guide on Neovim's LSP client
If we can't find the basic usage in the documentation we can go to nvim-lspconfig's github repository. In there we look for a folder called server_configurations, this contains configuration files for a bunch of language servers.

Do I need NeoVIM?
https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

cpp setting problem
This specific issue talks about fixing clangd for that error: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/2184. The issue is ongoing for ccls AFAIK but for clangd, this has been discussed and fixed in the past already.

Need help to set up the pbkit language server
I am trying to set up the pbkit language server for protobuf files. Since it is not part of the nvim-lspconfig repo's server configurations, I have to figure the way out myself. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, as I can start from the bufls configuration there. The following is what I have at the moment:

Using nvim-lint as a null-ls alternative for linters
Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

The Future of the Vim Project
Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.

SQL LSP dialect

LazyVim
I see where you're coming from. FWIW, I've been using Neovim for an odd 7 years or so and only use plugins where absolutely necessary. I'll usually just add an appropriate BufWritePost (trigger after saving the buffer) autocommand for the language's file extension that does what I want. Or I'll add a keybind in .config/nvim/ftplugin/.vim (or .lua).
The default LSP client config at https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig#suggested-configura... sets everything up for you, if you're using an LSP server. I'm not sure why it hasn't been merged into the Neovim repo; possibly because they want to keep the editor core fast and minimal.
All this means you have to do a little more configuring than with something like VSCode, but to be honest, I haven't legitimately needed to make big changes to my config in a few years. There's stuff I add for fun (like little lua scripts to manage my clipboard and to layout tabs the way I want), but to maintain a 'VSCode' level of functionality none of it's needed. The advantage of spending a little extra time, for me, has been that my edit 'fits like a glove', so to speak :)
