A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

After using Neovim as my daily driver for 2+ years, I might be switching to Zed from here on out 👀

Anyth functionality/plugins youre missing from neovim? How's the lsp support / ease of configuring it?

I do sorta miss some plugins like Telescope or Harpoon, but tbh that’s probably it? 😬 I think the transition has been smooth simply because I don’t use that many plugins in the first place. What is nice is that the build in vim mode is excellent; a lot of core neovim functionality is accessible from the get-go. 

LSP support is decent. Easy to configure (way easier than neovim) however at a cost; they’re all built in vs the ability to pull whatever you want. However there are already lots of community plugins to add lsp and syntax highlighting for stuff like Astro or Solidity that might be on the outskirts. Other than that it configures extremely easily. All one big json file so not as nice as lua but gets the job done. 

Its most appealing feature to me is speed. It just runs so much better than neovim via alacritty which is already gpu accelerated I believe.

Totally fair; we’ll see how long I last myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol

interesting. the speed is tempting, but feel i'd miss telescope way too much. think i'll try it out, but don't really see myself switching haha.
