I had been a Vim user for a *very* long time. I'm about 2 months into a switch to Neovim and it's a world of difference on so many levels. Particularly, I just started writing my first plugin. It's such a great experience using Lua. I never had an interest in Vimscript

Next personal dev project I start I’m skipping bash scripting for builds and project handling and just going to go straight to Python. Or Go but probably Python

I'm super excited to share what I've been working on lately in my spare time. OpenTelemetry is awesome, but in isolation it doesn't make sense. You need an application generating telemetry, and observability tooling backends to analyze it. OTel is a glorified ETL pipeline

This also includes a traffic generator, because an idle application doesn't generate telemetry. And because if all traces are <5ms, that's boring, so I included a quality-of-service interrupter. Now you can see sad traces too

I just learned something in Vim that I didn't realize I've needed for decades... Searching between two marks (instead of the whole buffer). `/\%>'amy-search-string\%<'b` where "a" is the start mark and "b" is the end mark. So powerful!

You learn quickly with OpenTelemtry to group your automated dependency updates together (dependabot/renovate/etc)

One of the growing pains from vim to neovim is that I don't have to do anything special for the clipboard registry. But I was so used to it being separate

I like it this way, because it's more typical. Just need to kinda unlearn that vim behavior

I've pushed it off long enough. I need to migrate my Google domains somewhere. Where did everybody end up?

Question for other Go programmers that use neovim. Does it make sense to use vim-go even if using gopls through nvim-lspconfig? I'm still missing things like format on save and things like GoRename, GoReferrers etc. // @johncodes @fatih

Neovim feels like modern vim. There are so many creature comforts here that I didn't even know I wanted/needed
