I could use plugins to achieve almost anything, enabling smooth workflows and tooling that others have pioneered.</p> <p>However, as someone who jumps between frameworks, languages and projects, many past chosen plugins become redundant and forgotten. The last thing anyone needs is technical debt from their IDE, and so I entered a period of using JetBrains IDEs a couple of years ago when my role required me to focus on React.</p> <p>Recently, I stumbled upon Helix IDE at the same time as Nix Flakes, and that spurred the realisation of this powerful but simple setup.</p> https://808.ninja/coder/vim-as-my-ide-upgrade-for-coc-nvim-and-lsp/ Thu, 15 Aug 2019 22:51:29 +0800 https://808.ninja/coder/vim-as-my-ide-upgrade-for-coc-nvim-and-lsp/ <h2 id="the-quest-continues">The Quest Continues</h2> <p>In 2012, I started blogging about <em><a href="https://archived.neilpahl.com/logs/vim/">Vim As My Ide</a></em>. At that time, I was also going to try and focus on Scala as it was all the rage. However, I didn&rsquo;t like using clunky IDEs like Eclipse to develop in the Java world, and I didn&rsquo;t have any pressing reason to continue. Today, I&rsquo;m back on board the Scala train for work purposes and will leverage some of the newfound support for Scala that Vim has.</p>
