Vimscript to lua: everything you need to know

• coc-ccls

  53 25 10.0 TypeScript

  CCLS (C/C++) extension for coc.nvim

To replace coc and ale, you'll probably need to install more than two plugins. Neovim is in fact well known for its built-in LSP, which can be configured in many ways. The quickest one is by using lsp-zero, which sets up automatically language servers and autocompletion, without you having to write everything on your own. Alternatively, you can manually set up mason, nvim-cmp, null-ls and more, to achieve a similar result with your own efforts. I will write another blog post about this, so stay tuned.
