nvim-metals VS coc-metals

By multiple subprojects are they independent builds? Or just one big build with nested build files? I actually have a discussion related to this in here. Please to jump in there if that's the same issue you're having and comment on your situation. It'll be helpful to determine how to address it.

Use nvim-metals

elixir.nvim is a langauge plugin for Elixir. It is similar to nvim-metals in that is manages ElixirLS (Elixir's language server) and provides a complete experience over nvim-lspconfig.

But I haven't yet set up anything properly other than Debugpy. nvim-dap is very barebones, so I feel that the best way is to have an extra configuration plugin on top. Debugpy.nvim is a very specific frontend plugin, but there are also more general plugins like nvim-metals and vim-ultest which also offer integration with nvim-dap.

Yeah it's pretty good already and getting newer features everyday. I didn't want to hook up the vim I use everyday to a heavy editor so installed neovim alongside vim on my system and use this https://github.com/scalameta/nvim-metals (which I believe is the metals official way) and it's super straight forward to use.

Every software project is WIP to some extent, but that doesn't stop Neovim itself from having really high standards in documentation. A lot of Neovim plugins also have really high standards, such as nvim-metals.

nvim-metals (really thorough manual)

Hello Everyone! This Saturday the 10th at 3pm CEST I'll be doing a special livestream where I walk through setting up Metals to use with Vim and go over all the features. We'll look also look at the differences between coc-metals and nvim-metals. If you've ever been curious about Scala development in Vim, or just want to see Metals in another context, feel free to come hang out, lob questions at me, or just talk Metals and/or Vim.

From my experience with maintaining a coc plugin, coc-metals and also a new nvim lsp focused plugin, nvim-metals, I'd say in general, yea it has a ways to go yet before an average user feels it's as stable as coc is.
