There was some discussion but the answer is that it’s just too difficult. Our version was reversed from a bunch of MITM and guesswork. The VSCode implementation has a “@workspace” command which involves complex tree-sitter integration, sending off all your code to be vectorized, and uses RAG to get the most relevant snippets. We obviously weren’t able to implement all features. They can get away with this in JavaScript because you can get just about anything via npm. In Lua, most things have to be from scratch. I had to spend a few hours just getting tiktoken working in Lua and even then it requires manual installation. The package management system with Lazy.nvim is very lacking.
Thank you! I'll be trying this out in the next few days as soon as I get some time. I much appreciate your effort. I know you don't do it for the money, but I'll throw some sponsor bucks your way. I'd love to buy you a few beers (or coffees or whatever your love is) :-)
