Topic: Increase your productivity with Neovim, Language Server Protocols (LSPs), and modern terminal tools
Speaker: Dr. Jan Eitzinger, NHR@FAU
Location: seminar room 02.049 (RRZE, Martensstraße 1, 91058 Erlangen)
Abstract:
The terminal remains the standard interface to HPC systems. Fortunately, UTF-8 and modern programming languages (such as Rust and Go) have enabled terminals to become powerful user interfaces. This talk will introduce and discuss state-of-the-art extensions and tools for your terminal. The focus will be on software developers, though much of the content may also be relevant for the average terminal user. We will cover basic terminal tools and editor extensions and showcase a modern Neovim setup. We will discuss basic considerations for a productive terminal setup and demonstrate best practices.
