Modern Neovim — AI Coding

AI-assisted coding is an evolving field and can greatly improve developer productivity. In this article, we will explore AI coding with Neovim.
This article is part of the Modern Neovim series.
The Neovim configuration files are available in this repository.
Getting Started
AI coding, also known as AI-assisted coding or augmented coding, refers to using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to assist programmers in coding. AI can provide suggestions, automate repetitive tasks, improve code quality, and enhance productivity.
AI can be used in coding for
- Code Completion — AI-powered code completion tools can analyze our code and provide intelligent suggestions for completing lines of code, saving us time and effort.
- Code Generation — AI can generate code snippets or even entire code blocks based on a given input, such as natural language descriptions or desired functionality.
- Code Refactoring — AI can analyze code and provide suggestions for refactoring, optimizing, or improving code quality.
- Code Review — AI-powered code review tools can automatically analyze code for bugs, vulnerabilities, coding standards violations, or other issues, and provide suggestions for fixing them.
- Code Search and Navigation — AI can assist in code search and navigation tasks by providing intelligent suggestions for finding relevant code snippets, files, or functions.
- Code Conversion — AI can assist in converting existing applications to a new programming language. This is especially helpful if we need to migrate existing applications to a new language for whatever reasons, or if we want to learn a new language using an existing language we are familiar with.
- Natural Language Programming — AI-powered natural language programming tools allow us to write code using plain English or other natural languages, and automatically convert it into executable code. These tools can help non-programmers or those new to coding to create simple scripts or automate tasks without learning a programming language.
