Adoption of the Neovim plugin for OCaml

We recently released a new NeoVim plugin for OCaml. It has been live for a few months now (you can find the announcement here if you are curious), and we would like to know what you think of it.

The next step is to improve the plugin in order to better meet the expectations of the users. To do that, it would be very helpful for us if you could reply to the following poll. Do not hesitate to share your thoughts about the plugin, both positive and negative, and any ideas are also welcome. We are very interested in improving the plugin’s usability, so your impressions are important.

Do you use the `ocaml.nvim` plugin?

  • Yes.
  • No.
  • I am not using Neovim.

I use vim. I’d like to try neovim, but I haven’t gotten around to it. I use Merlin. I’m interested inlay hints for inferred types. I just looked at the neovim plugin page. I guess I was not aware of the plugin, and the discuss post I read last year about inlay hints was using ocamllsp.

Is LazyVim using the new plugin? I recall I tried to program in OCaml with LazyVim last year, but the indentation was broken out-of-the-box and I didn’t bother much investigating what was wrong there. (likely something with Tree-sitter indentation queries for OCaml)

LazyVim is not using this plugin. As far as I know, it is a built-in Neovim environment with a first set of plugins.
It integrates LSP, and you need to add your required LSP servers (here, ocamllsp). But this plugin is a complementary project, as it provides OCaml-specific features that are not covered by the LSP.
