An async Language Server Protocol (LSP) client plugin for Vim 8 and Neovim, written in Vim Script with Lua performance optimizations. It provides IDE-like features such as go-to-definition, hover, diagnostics, rename, and completion by communicating with language servers.

Use cases

• add LSP support to vim
• go to definition in neovim
• get code diagnostics in vim
• rename symbols in vim
• autocomplete in vim via language server
• set up language servers in vim without heavy plugins

When to choose

• you use Vim 8 or Neovim and want a pure Vim-script LSP client without Lua/Python dependencies
• you want fine-grained manual control over server registration and mappings
• you prefer a lightweight, minimal LSP setup

When to avoid

• you use Neovim exclusively and prefer the built-in LSP client with Lua ecosystem plugins
• you want an out-of-the-box IDE experience with minimal configuration
• you need built-in snippet support without third-party plugins
