nvim-oxi VS pynvim

How about reading this doc? https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi/tree/main/examples

thank you for the support! I'm pretty new to rust (and lua for that matter) so it took me a little while to get my head around how to use mlua in the context of a neovim plugin. Two resources that were really helpful for me were these two github projects: https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi and https://github.com/willothy/nvim-utils

nvim-oxi, which uses bindings to the C functions used by the lua API. Note that it's currently broken for nvim nightly, but I'm working on a fix.

I intended to do a rust version but I think it's too easy with nvim-oxi, feel free to take the initiative and make a blazing fast nvim config!

For your problem, there is a new nvim plugin framework nvim-oxi which seems promising, you may have a try.

Lol I started trying to see what that’d look like earlier this year: https://github.com/turboladen/init.rs. It works fine and loads pretty fast. Started by making https://github.com/turboladen/overkill_nvim, but stopped work after https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi showed up.

nvim-oxi lets you do it in Rust…

> now that https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi has come out, I am going to use it even less.

Woah, interesting ... provided there's success and uptake with this ... I'm imagining it could lead to a really slick and responsive editing experience that those of using (at least) slightly sluggish plugins might have been missing for a while now.

In a python remote plugin using pynvim, you could write something like this.

I can't fully recommend one example posted in #520 (because it has some practices that are not quite recommendable IMHO) but you may want to take a look at it.

To my knowledge no, but looks this is a common problem on Windows. Please file an issue on https://github.com/neovim/pynvim/ (a reproduction step would be greatly appreciated) so we can track it.

That should be it https://github.com/neovim/pynvim

You managed to pick two languages I don't use, but I believe it would more than meet your criteria. Neovim has excellent LSP support, and there are several for C/C++/CMake and for Python. See the list here. There's intellisense like completion via coc. For debugging there's also nvim-dap. With something like pynvim you could even write plugins for neovim itself in python. (I've written some in lua myself because of its native lua interface, which is a nice alternative to vimscript.)

pynvim doc is not very good IMO I will gladly use nvim --remote now that the feature is available if I ever need something from python!

As a sidenote, I didn't see another option besides making it as a python remote plugin, since I really needed to use Python's jupyterclient library (basically the Jupyter protocol is pretty complicated, and jupyter-client is its official implementation). And that sucks, because pynvim is badly documented and has a few really weird bugs (e.g. https://github.com/neovim/pynvim/issues/386), which I then had to work around.

Maybe this or this

I'm trying to use pynvim to write tests for a plugin (since I'm a big fan of pytest). However I cannot seem to configure the nvim session through a lua file. I've created an issue but thought I would also post here to see if someone knows what's going on since I haven't had a reply in a few days.
