I was looking forward to parallel front-end[4], but I have not seen any improvement for these small changes.

For example, intelephense can show diagnostics in real time, there is no need to save the file to get new diagnostics. But rust-analyzer, the language server for rust, can only update diagnostics after saving the file.

6. Rust Analyzer

The rust-analyzer readme suggests you go here for support request. But even there, you'll need to provide more details to get useful help.

For example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/...

> If you create an LSP, it will work best in VS Code.

Any editor can work just as well as (or even better than) VS Code.

So, apparently the reason why rust-analyzer, the LSP server for Rust does not have persistent caching is because it would make "optimizing initial passes less important".

All I want to know is: Will it have a build configuration pulldown?

I am not a Rust dev. It surely looks great.

However, from what I understand it seems to supply just a parser separate from the Rust compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/crate...) trying to keep up with Rust‘s development. So, in principle, it could have been just another treesitter parser plugin, too.

So, again, the LSP framework does not directly provide any magical benefit over a static parsing framework. All the semantic analysis capabilities stem from a good parser.

Notice that this script depends on mhinz/neovim-remote: Support for --remote and friends. (github.com). (nvr as you have notice). The full-path is required to make it work.

I am currently using https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote with this bit in my zshrc:

Since they are on different screens I cannot use a single neovim instance (I tried playing around with neovim-remote but seems like that's for the usecase of opening files in one instance from different terminals -- doesn't help). Due to multiple LSP instances changes in one file are not reflected in the other, e.g., file B imports some types from file A; I create a new type in A but since B's neovim instance is not aware of any change to the A file corresponding the LSP fails to see the new type.

This version includes `nv` binary which is [neovim-remote](https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote) but rewritten in Rust (I've did it out of boredom) also with interface similar to `page`.

Practical use case: when navigating in ANY terminal (or tmux) write a function that sends opened files to a single running neovim instance instead of spreading opened vim instances all around like neovim remote does, but works for any terminal

I see the integration with neovim is done via a separate plugin, did you think about adding support for neovim-remote?

Another way of doing what u/TheLeoP23 suggested is by using https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote . This way you have a single neovim instance and you can open it on different terminals and mantain your current workflow.
