#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
Just 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
@tsvenson@fosstodon.orgGot 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
