  • LuaSnip

    Snippet Engine for Neovim written in Lua.

    https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip it also supports friendly-snippets (check the example file) and gives the capability of implementing really complex snippets as they can be declared using lua functions.

  • vim-vsnip

    Snippet plugin for vim/nvim that supports LSP/VSCode's snippet format.

    Seems like vim-vsnip and snippets.nvim are popular to migrate into.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • snippets.nvim

    Seems like vim-vsnip and snippets.nvim are popular to migrate into.

  • friendly-snippets

    Set of preconfigured snippets for different languages.

    vsnip is vimscript implemented way and has friendly-snippets which contains already predefined snippets. But it seems to have some limitations like can't use transformations nor bash commands as output etc? It still looks to work very fast for its purpose.
