Unable to get a working setup for lsp
I had previous gotten a working setup with https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer however, I have been unable to get it working ever since.

How do you stay up-to-date on the plugins you use?
The only way to stay up to date, is when you read the commits if you update the plugins. In this case for the lsp-installer in the commit bfa74f4 was mentioned that the plugin will no longer maintained

LSP question: manage an already installed server (instead of using lspinstall)
A word of caution, I believe lspinstall has been deprecated in favor of nvim-lspinstall which itself has also been deprecated in favor of mason-lspconfig

AstroNvim 2.4
We have now migrated from nvim-lsp-instasller to mason which provides automatic LSP and null-ls configuration after installation

Best way to go about installing LSP today?
nvim-lsp-installer or mason.nvim. FYI lsp-zero also uses mason.nvim for managing installation.

Vue + Volar = Error Request initialize failed
I'm using nvim-lsp-installer it installs typescript when installing volar. So I had given it that path. Plus I had typescript locally installing since I'm using vue3+ts(vite) template

rust-analyzer changelog #146
Though mason only recently replaced nvim-lsp-installer. Same author but they decided to make a complete rewrite given the broader scope beyond only providing language servers. And nvim-dap had it's initial release in late July. The actual dap servers are all kind of mature since they've been running on vscode for a couple of years or more now - and the protocol is apparently almost as old as lsp. So when I call them beta, it's more a commentary on the state of the neovim side of the ecosystem. If you mess around getting nvim-dap to work then there's a chance things might change over the coming months and you might have to return to configuring it more often than you'd like. In this sense for now I'm happy just to open vscode or another more appropriate IDE to debug. But I can see myself using the plugins in a year or two when they've matured.

Is there any way to autocomplete language functions? For example, show things like fmt.Printf or fmt.Println when writing fmt.Print and pressing the autocomplete key.
Here are a few resources to get you started: 1. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig 1. https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls 1. https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer

rust_tools equivalent for C Sharp
Can recommend a combination of omnisharp-roslyn native LSP (installed manually or through something like mason or nvim-lsp-installer) with omnisharp-vim for some extra C#-niceties like OmniSharpRunTest, etc.

Using a venv with Neovim's Python LSP
I recently started coding with Neovim using kickstart.nvim as the template for my editor configuration. I downloaded the python-lsp-server package using Mason, but I was disappointed to discover that the IntelliSense on my third party dependencies didn't work. The LSP was resolving to my global Python installation, which did not have the packages from my virtual environment (venv) installed.

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.

Do I need a plugin manager ?
I'm using mason.nvim to install my dependencies, I've this snippet at nvim/plugin/mason.lua so after cloning my dotfiles I can just run:

Mason can't install gopls (or gofumpt, or goimports)
The suggestion from this thread fixed it for me. I just needed to unset GOOS and GOARCH then restart neovim.

Neovim documentation is pretty bad
For instance, I'm trying to install rust-analyzer in lazyvim from https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim. The installation instructions are:
- LazyVim

How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
I have pyright installed via mason which apparently support "semantic token highlighting" but have been having a hard time getting these colors to show up in a buffer. It seems Neovim has changed how it handles semantic highlighting a few times so there's still some conflicting information online. It's hard to know what's current and what's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

language server not installed or missing from path
Use mason to install the language servers you want.

Why is nobody using CoC anymore?
Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nvim-lsp-installer and mason.nvim you can also consider the following projects:
nvim-lspconfig - Quickstart configs for Nvim LSP
lazy-lsp.nvim - Neovim plugin to auto install LSP servers
nvim-lspinstall - Provides the missing :LspInstall for nvim-lspconfig
coc.nvim - Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.
omnisharp-vim - Vim omnicompletion (intellisense) and more for C#
null-ls.nvim - Use Neovim as a language server to inject LSP diagnostics, code actions, and more via Lua.
mason-lspconfig.nvim - Extension to mason.nvim that makes it easier to use lspconfig with mason.nvim.
formatter.nvim
nvim-jdtls - Extensions for the built-in LSP support in Neovim for eclipse.jdt.ls
neoformat - :sparkles: A (Neo)vim plugin for formatting code.
