Neovim 0.12.0 - Hackdot

Re:Neovim 0.12.0 by Agentlien on Monday March 30, 2026 @12:15AM (#47570342)

I've been using Vim daily for 13 years and switched to NeoVim about a year of two ago. For me the main advantages over Vim are just the Lua scripting instead of Vimscript, its support for language servers, and better handling of terminals windows running inside Vim.

However, I do still run visual studio in parallel for debugging. It's basically essential when dealing with console game development.

I just let AI handle any and all debugging at this point, haven't had an issue where AI couldn't find out what the problem was, finding a solution on the other hand is a hit or miss still.

Can AI pause execution and step through the code line by line? Because that's what I think your parent comment is referring to.

AI can use gdb.

How do you achieve this behavior ? Sorry I haven't done researchs on it because so the answer might be super easy, but I'm curious what's your solution

I haven’t done it specifically but it shouldn’t be much different from other tools calling

I found DAP neat enough for interactive debugging (when logging is not enough). But I only used DAP under Neovim to debug Python.
