Fallback language servers? (coc.nvim)
I am playing with some languages that have alternative language server support but to not seem to be supported by the builtin lsp (see odin language w/ this server: https://github.com/DanielGavin/ols).

Odin is taking documentation seriously—Brand New Documentation for the Official Library Collections
There is syntax highlighting for Odin in pretty much every text editor at the moment, and coupled with the Odin Language Server (OLS) that has been worked by the community, Odin already has a lot of tooling that you can get started with straightaway!

Some questions about code formatting with lsp-zero and mason
Check the documentation of lua_ls

Beginner question: is there any coding standard for documenting Lua functions or tables emulating OOP?
You can use LLS extension for VSCode. Documentation: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations

Lua: The Little Language That Could
There's lua-language-server which works with types defined in definition files and/or annotations in comments.

Documentation Comment highlighting with TreeSitter
Lastly, neovim now supports semantic token highlighting which uses semantic tokens from LSP servers to provide even better, language specific highlighting. Some LSP servers support semantic tokens for doc comments. The lua language server is a good example. Unfortunately, if you're using a language like C or C++, the language servers do not provide semantic tokens for comments because doxygen style comments are not specific to those languages so you might be out of luck for semantic token highlighting.

This little thing bugs me: in lua LSP popup content, the closing paren is always highlighted red
I think it is because the language server send a different type for the first line: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/blob/eeffd1462b892fda5d01282acf840ba0e154e467/script/core/hover/label.lua (might be one of the other files here, not label)

How complex can I make games in Lua?
Lua with lua-language-server and annotated types is a much nicer experience.

mini.nvim - release of version 0.8.0
For it to be language-aware (like provide suggestions for module/table/class methods/fields) you also need language server (like lua_ls for Lua). But even without it you should see suggestions from fallback method. If you don't, then 'mini.completion' is not installed and/or activated.

PSA: Changes to the mason.nvim registry
I also want to thank current & past GitHub sponsors who help finance costs associated with the plugin. I regularly pay the surplus forward to other devs whose tooling I heavily rely on (huge shout-out to sumneko for working on the Lua language server, without it a plugin of the complexity of mason.nvim would be impossible, go sponsor them here).
