nvim-metals VS vlime

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.

Install https://github.com/scalameta/nvim-metals

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)

https://github.com/vlime/vlime works for me fine

You should try out Vlime, it is a bit janky but it beats copy-pasting into a terminal any day.

Maybe you should stick to one new thing at a time. Vim is more than capable of handling Common Lisp. Look at Slimv and Vlime for vim-style SLIME. Focus on CL first. You can come back to Doom / Emacs later.

Neovim works just fine. I use Neoterm to send-to-repl, here's what my config looks like. Your other options include vlime and slimv. I switched to neoterm because it's simple, explicit, and doesn't create unpredictable windows. Works for any other language just as well.

A proper Neovim client for Slime or Sly. The closest is Vlime, but its UI is really janky.

Join me vim brother and don't settle for forcing yourself to use emacs while developing in CL when you don't have to! You even have two vim options! https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv and https://github.com/vlime/vlime with a great comparison of the two: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

If you're interested more in Common Lisp, there's both vlime and vim-slime however I don't have any experience with them.

I think I'll dig at vimtutor within a few days, then. I've seen it mentioned a few times already, so now's a good time I reckon. Like you said, I'll be avoiding plugins, but with the guide I referenced, vlime is mentioned. You don't think that'll be too problematic on Windows, do you? I recall seeing that plenty of plugins don't work outside of linux. Thanks again, btw!

That's quite a tough question because different people appreciate different things about Emacs. Personally I use Neovim as my text editor with Vlime for live Common Lisp integration (works with Vim as well). Vlime uses the same backend as Slime for Emacs, so the features should be the same, even if the interface is different. I know there is also Slima for Atom, but I have never used Atom, so no idea how well it works.
