elixir-ls VS iTerm2

No. Not even close. But it's getting better.

There are currently two worth mentioning:

ElixirLSP: https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls

Elixir tools: https://www.elixir-tools.dev/

ElixirLSP is the older project, and has been around for a while. It does a lot, but has had sporadic issues over the years. Things like the debugger are a dog to get working, and the server itself will occasionally run into issues where it just doesn't want to work. It's always sort of focused on a subset of language server features, so don't expect much in the way of inline corrections. But it's got the essentials, formatting, basic linting, type hinting, on demand documentation, and primitive reference navigation

Elixir tools is a new up and comer, written by Mitchell Hanberg. It's aiming to be a more complete lsp, and has plugins in its "ecosystem" for most editors. Features have been arriving rapidly, starting with things like inline corrections and far more reliable linting, and recently growing autocomplete. One of the main selling points is the elixir-tools backend is a self contained binary, so it can mostly work independent of system Elixir/Erlang version, which was a frequent tripping point for ElixirLSP

Personally I use both at the same time, but plan to move to tools only when it's got all the features I need

I decided I can live without elixir-ls when couching in return for having a usable editor. When the plugin ecosystem and documentation matures I can see myself switching to using Lapce for my primary editor.

Hi! I've compiled gdb from master and installed it. When I run gdb -i dap, I get JSON-RPC, so it looks like it's working, but I'm lost as to where to go from here. Does your change enable me to use a tool like https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls with GDB now, right? How might I use them together? What would be required to then have GDB debugging over DAP from inside Emacs?

Elixir-ls provides Language Server Protocol support as well as VS Code Debug Protocol support which gives extra powers to VS Code, NeoVim, Emacs, and the like

https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls

BUT, with the news that in the next Emacs version eglot (lsp client) is going to be in the core, I decide to modify alchemist in a different way, enhancing other capabilities and letting eglot do what he best does (which is the functionality of elixir-ls).

I think it's here: https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls

elixir-ls powers the VSCode experience, and while it works decently, I've never really clicked with VSCode. In general, for other languages, I tend to use Jetbrain's Products. I would love to give fleet a whirl, and I know in the background it can use the Language Server Protocol to support many of the languages it currently ships with.

Now it doesn't mean that immediately reading this starter guide, you will have everything under the sun set up with Nix Flakes for your development need. But at least, you won't have to worry about setting up asdf, your weird hacks you need for your machine and the other tiny little things to get elixir started with elixir-ls.

I have a minimal lspconfig with coq_nvim with elixirls and tsserver. The problem is that whenever i code on elixir everything becomes slow.

Well I know one extension that runs your code, elixir-ls. I believe it scans your code and runs dialyzer, a static analysis tool, which runs your code and generates types based on it.

iterm2…

I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:

[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)

[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)

My daily driver is WezTerm…

- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD

- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)

- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).

- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)

- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)

- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)

- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)

- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)

- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading

- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)

- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)

- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)

- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)

- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)

- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets

- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP

- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)

- Kitty graphics support

- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

Over the past few years, my coding journeys have been accompanied by the reliable iTerm2, offering a seamless experience without any fuss. It seemed like I had everything I needed until I came across Warp. Exploring this innovative terminal emulator over the past few weeks has been a delightful revelation, bringing a fresh perspective and exciting features to my development environment. Website link

A decent terminal application (i.e: iterm2, alacritty, etc.)

I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette.

Introducing iTerm2, the self-proclaimed macOS terminal replacement! With that application installed, you will literally start feeling sad when you accidentally open the traditional macOS terminal!
