#Neovim here I come 
For many reasons I have decided to make a real effort to use neovim to code with, as the standard IDE for my new project.
Big reason is that this is an infinity project. One I know never will be finished, just be continuously improved, in code, as it is used.
So I really want to know and understand the code. Especially years later.
Thus the need to avoid any modern tempting shortcuts that especially #LLM's are about.
I think this will be fun too 
Currently my #nerdmachine uses Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and without having to compile from source: Snap seems to be the only choice to get latest stable #neovim on it.
For #apt - including other PPA's - I could find nothing newer than years old 0.9.5.
So snap it is!
Now to let the one-and-only #TheVimeagen (AKA #ThePrimeagen) get me properly started:
This will be so much fun 
Decided to fully go the fork/clone kickstart.nvim route after watching TJ DeVries "The Only Video You Need to Get Started with Neovim" https://youtu.be/m8C0Cq9Uv9o
Only thing left of the external requirements is to config the #NerdFonts Maple that is already installed.
But not tonight. Got much further than I imagined already today. So need to chill and enjoy I'm so much closer - I can smell it - to get coding in a proper IDE
@tsvenson@fosstodon.orgJust stumbled on there is a #Ghostty snap official at https://ghostty.org/docs/install/binary#snap and got
Because was under the impression I would have to compile from source for Ubuntu to get a recent version.
I'm really starting to enjoy my journey from reinstalling 24.04 LTS and going #neovim for coding. It is starting to feel so good and homie the more I get it configured and making it come alive.
Almost at the point to start coding. Can't wait for the weekend for two days of really test driving
Got really far with #Neovim 
in #Ghostty 
Over the weekend I also got #Python 
LSP working and I really like how it looks. Thus far I use default color schemes, only a nice #NerdFonts installed.
Task now is to figure out how to make it show the dependencies aren't installed for this project. That is the main thing, I know of now, that is not showing yet.
Going back to #vscode is only looking less likely - this is simply so much more enjoyable for me already
Getting to know #Neovim using https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim has been amazing, as it comes with a really great selection of add-ons and settings.
It has really made me
However, I now find myself stuck tinkering with it instead of being able to use nvim.
So I am going to try building my own config from scratch, including go multifile,
I think that, even though using most from kickstart, will work better in the long run for me. Including even better and quicker learn everything
