A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

thinking about switching to neovim full time...

so naturally i spent a bunch of time to make it look exactly like vscode 😅

slowly using neovim more and more daily...

one thing that caught me offguard is still have super slow type inference / hover docs, sometimes even slower than vscode.

suspecting it's our monorepo setup (maybe?). but no idea how to profile things to confirm that 😔

It might be a timed delay setting in the LSP? I've always used a key binding like shift-k when my cursor is on a definition to see that info

Ooof that is rough 😬 Yeah I personally haven't spent much time on optimizing neovim with a larger repo, although I'm sure there's stuff you can do like slimming down your config. I have had improvements in the past when I switched to a fully custom config vs a prebuilt/modified config like Lazyvim. 

Zed has been really really nice. It uses a whole new rust built GUI and I've had way less issues navigating larger code bases. It also has an incredible built in Vim mode thats way better than any VS Code extension. Very minimal editor with all the stuff you need built in, minus maybe a theme and some irregular languages like Solidity (which are now covered by third party extensions). 

Might be worth just giving it a go with your repo to see if its worth it! 

zed.dev

nah i think its something else. like i can hit gd and it will make 20+ seconds to open the file. code actions are even worse, minutes later it pops up after i’ve moved on

oh wow, is Zed that much more performant?

But also on the flip side I've recently had issues with neovim in larger repos and switched to Zed 😬 Sticking so far,  planning on writing a blog post on it eventually
