Integrate AI Coding Assistant with Neovim

[aleeusgr]

Description:

As a developer on NixOS, I'd like to integrate an AI coding assistant with Neovim to enhance my coding experience. This assistant should provide real-time suggestions, code completion, and debugging assistance to help me write more efficient and accurate code.

Current Behavior:

Currently, I'm using Neovim as my editor on NixOS, but I'm missing the benefits of an AI-powered coding assistant. I've tried installing various plugins and extensions, but none of them provide the level of AI-driven assistance I need.

Desired Behavior:

I'd like to see an AI coding assistant integrated with Neovim on NixOS that provides the following features:

1. Real-time suggestions: As I type, the assistant should suggest relevant code snippets, functions, and variables to help me complete my code.
2. Code completion: The assistant should auto-complete code snippets, functions, and variables as I type, reducing the need for manual typing.
3. Debugging assistance: The assistant should provide real-time debugging information, such as variable values, function calls, and error messages, to help me identify and fix issues.
4. Code analysis: The assistant should analyze my code and provide suggestions for improvement, such as code refactoring, optimization, and best practices.

Technical Requirements:

To implement this feature, I'd like to see the following technical requirements met:

1. Integration with Neovim: The AI coding assistant should seamlessly integrate with Neovim, allowing me to access its features and functionality.
2. NixOS compatibility: The solution should be compatible with NixOS and its package manager, Nix.
3. Language support: The assistant should support multiple programming languages, including Python, Java, and C++.
4. Customizability: The assistant should allow for customization of its behavior, such as adjusting the level of suggestions, code completion, and debugging assistance.

Acceptance Criteria:

To confirm that the AI coding assistant is working correctly, the following acceptance criteria should be met:

1. The assistant provides real-time suggestions and code completion as I type.
2. The assistant provides accurate debugging information and code analysis.
3. The assistant is customizable and integrates seamlessly with Neovim.
4. The solution is compatible with NixOS and its package manager, Nix.

Estimated Time: 2-3 weeks
