auto-complete vs company-mode in 2021

• corfu

  44 1,023 8.9 Emacs Lisp

  :desert_island: corfu.el - COmpletion in Region FUnction

there's also corfu now, it's pretty new and it's on elpa you might want to give it a try https://github.com/minad/corfu

• company-box

  4 557 4.9 Emacs Lisp

  A company front-end with icons

For elisp it works out of the box and displays the first line of the helpbuffer in the echo area. If you add company-box or company-quickhelp you'll get the description text next to completion candidates.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• company-quickhelp

  4 370 3.1 Emacs Lisp

  Documentation popup for Company

  

For elisp it works out of the box and displays the first line of the helpbuffer in the echo area. If you add company-box or company-quickhelp you'll get the description text next to completion candidates.

• company-jedi

  2 97 1.8 Emacs Lisp

  Company backend for Python jedi

  

For python I'm using it with company-jedi, which is orphaned but only has a hundred lines of code and leaves all the work to jedi-core from emacs-jedi. It also does display call signatures in the echo area or signatures and docstrings next to completion candidates with company-box or company-quickhelp.

• emacs-jedi

  3 664 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Python auto-completion for Emacs

For python I'm using it with company-jedi, which is orphaned but only has a hundred lines of code and leaves all the work to jedi-core from emacs-jedi. It also does display call signatures in the echo area or signatures and docstrings next to completion candidates with company-box or company-quickhelp.

• pylance-release

  50 1,655 9.0 Python

  Documentation and issues for Pylance

  

I tried to replace it with a lsp setup the other day but it basically added a lot of stuff to talk to the very same jedi so I got a bit emotional there and crossed it all out again. (There is also the microsoft lsp-server but the newest iteration is locked.)

• auto-complete

  1 1,716 5.1 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs auto-complete package

  

lsp (and corfu which I have not used yet) might be the way to go forward. I'll try again next year. Autocomplete on the other hand seems to be looking for a new maintainer.

• lsp-pyright

  5 274 2.8 Emacs Lisp

  lsp-mode :heart: pyright

  

Microsoft's C#-based language server is no longer developed, as you say, but Pyright, which is the open-source part of Pylance, has an lsp-mode integration. It works better than the C#-based server did and IME works just as well as Pylance in VS Code.
