What does HackerNews think of nvim-basic-ide?

🪨 This is my attempt at a basic stable starting point for a Neovim IDE.

Language: Lua

#18 in Lua
#37 in Vim
100% and I dislike having two vim configurations to maintain which is why they also have https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide

With LazyVim I basically got rid of the both, and now my vim config is literally a few overrides https://www.lazyvim.org/configuration/general that are not distribution specific at all.

If you are new to vim/nvim in general give https://www.lunarvim.org/ a try. Most things should just work / are easy to set up.

If you already have some experience and want to configure your own this is a great scaffold to build your own thing: https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide

There are many of these distributions and I recommend them to people new to Vim because they can get a good out-of-the-box experience.

However after some time you probably want to configure your own and only include what you truly need. For this a good solution is to just adapt https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide to your liking. This is made by the author(s) of LunarVim.

I have both PHPStorm and Pycharm running, each takes up 4+GB memory on a 8G M1. Slowly growing memory usage for WindowServer process makes matter worse.

For the last week, I have been playing with Neovim in spare time using a setup based on https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide It does pinning plug-in too.

It's working well for small projects so far.
