Thanks both @KooShnoo@programming.dev and @soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de for your input! I’ve ordered The Book so looking forward to getting started with that.

Amazing thank you, just ordered the rust programming language book.

Perfect, thanks!

Think about the words you and other people use and what they actually mean. Are you using a word that refers to a certain group of people who are part of some marginalised group? “Gay” used to be a very common insult, particularly in South Park. What about “lame”, “dumb”, “tard”, etc.

It takes a while to create your minimal and perfect experience, so if you don’t have the time for that I’d suggest using a ready to go neovim setup. Others have suggests kickstart and lunavim. I’d suggest LazyVim since it uses lazy.nvim which is an async package manager. https://www.lazyvim.org/

For me LazyVim is just magic I don’t want to learn, along with preferring to have explicit control of the whole setup. Also migrating to something else takes more effort going from one magic to another magic. I’ve just finished migrating from packer to lazy.nvim and I like that I still have all the git history in my plugin/* files.

I’m very happy with my new “vanilla” lazy.nvim setup now.

I’m looking at implementing lazy.nvim, the package manager, but not LazyVim. Personally I like to be in control of everything and LazyVim takes too much away from me.
