zig.vim VS nvim-dap

I'm not a fan of debuggers and whatnot, so I don't have anything for that, but I use zig.vim for Zig/C/C++/Obj. C/anything else integration like highlighting. Additionally, vim-scripts/a.vim can be used for alternating between implementation/header files. I don't use it myself but vim-snippets can be used for common snippets.

Out of the box Vim works well enough as an editor for Zig but the experience is a bit underwhelming. So I installed the Vim configuration for Zig plugin get syntax highlighting.

About the fast zig check, looking around the the zig.vim plugin code, I think it would be zig fmt --ast-check.

There is zig-vim, language server and support in nvim-treesitter

Currently there is no lua api for this command, so if you want a lua solution you would need to reimplement the functionality or reimplement the stuff inside this folder https://github.com/ziglang/zig.vim/tree/master/compiler

install zig for vim : https://github.com/ziglang/zig.vim

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
