How to Setup Vim for Kotlin Development
Neovim Install the nvim-lspconfig plugin to make configuration of the LSP client simpler. Then update your init.lua to tell Neovim which filetypes to use the language server for (i.e. .kt and .kts extensions). The LSP client will try to the start the sever by running the kotlin_language_server binary. You can directly point Neovim to the location of the binary, or include this directory in your $PATH.

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.

The suggestion from this thread fixed it for me. I just needed to unset GOOS and GOARCH then restart neovim.

clangd - clangd language server
lazy-lsp.nvim - Neovim plugin to auto install LSP servers
