Hello, I’m a developer wanting to change from VSCode to Neovim. I’ve been using a Neovim extension for VSCode, so I know how to drive it to some extent.

I work with:

Rust
Typescript
React

I’m happy to use default NVim mostly with:

ctags
ins-completion
netrwtreelisting

I want to keep things really simple and use defaults when reasonable.

I basically just want to know how to set up Rust analyser and (for ts) prettier/eslint.

Questions:

Should I use a nvim conf file or lua? I’m happy to learn Lua if it’s recommended.
If I need packages for the above functionality, which package manager is best (excuse the imprecise terminology)?
Any additional recommendations?

Thank you.

Looking good! You should switch to lazy from packer though. It's simple:

You just need to add a lazy.lua file (just copy the one from the "Structured setup" section in lazy installation documentation)
Then instead of a plugins.lua, you can create a plugins/ directory instead where you can have separate .lua files in it and lazy will automatically detect them.
Just follow the lazy Plugin Spec documentation and move over your packer plugins to lazy
