# Technical Context

## Technologies Used

### Core
- Neovim (Latest stable or nightly)
- Lua (Primary configuration language)
- Git (Version control and plugin management)

### Plugin Management
- lazy.nvim (Plugin manager)

### Major Plugins and Tools
1. LSP Related
   - nvim-lspconfig (LSP configuration)
   - mason.nvim (LSP/DAP/Linter installer)
   - mason-lspconfig.nvim (Mason/LSP integration)
   - cmp-nvim-lsp (LSP completion integration)

2. Completion and Snippets
   - nvim-cmp (Completion engine)
   - LuaSnip (Snippet engine)

3. Development Tools
   - nvim-treesitter (Syntax highlighting)
   - telescope.nvim (Fuzzy finder)
   - gitsigns.nvim (Git integration)
   - conform.nvim (Formatting)

## Development Setup
Required external dependencies:
- git
- make
- unzip
- C Compiler (gcc)
- ripgrep
- Clipboard tool (platform dependent)
- Optional: Nerd Font

Language-specific requirements:
- npm (for TypeScript/JavaScript)
- go (for Golang)
- python3 (for Python)
- etc. based on languages used

## Technical Constraints
1. Memory Usage
   - Configured for reasonable memory usage
   - Plugin lazy-loading enabled

2. Performance
   - Startup optimizations in place
   - LSP configurations are lazy-loaded
   - Treesitter ensures efficient syntax highlighting

3. Platform Compatibility
   - Works across Linux, macOS, and Windows
   - Some features may require platform-specific setup
   - Windows may need additional configuration for certain tools

4. Dependencies
   - Requires Neovim 0.9.0 or newer
   - Some LSP features require external language servers
   - Format-on-save requires compatible formatters
