    nimlangserver is an implementation of Language Server Protocol with the goal to make nim IDE experience more mature. The main difference between nimlangserver and the existing nimlsp is that nimlangserver runs nimsuggest in a separate process and that nimlangserver is using a newly introduced version of nimsuggest v3(see bellow). nimlangserver is currently integrated in VScode via vscode-nim and in Emacs via lsp-mode but adding integraion with other editors should be trivial.

    As recommended by michaelsbradley below, I installed https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver. I'm using coc.nvim (https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) so I followed the instructions here from nim langserver https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver#vimneovim and seems to be working well!
