Create a Master Plugin #5

Description

@ankit02327

Summary

Right now, the plugin only supports C++. I’d like to broaden its functionality to support multiple programming languages, and also rename it to something more inclusive. Here's the new identity I propose:

Note

Name: algorithm-coding-setup

Tagline: “A Neovim plugin for data structures & algorithms workflows”

This name makes clear that the plugin is meant for a broad range of users—whether you're focused on competitive programming, practising DSA, preparing for interviews, or working on algorithm-heavy projects.

It's important that users can update their language preferences anytime—not just during installation. They should be able to add or remove supported languages seamlessly as they work.

Proposed Enhancements

  1. Language Selection at Any Time
  • Prompt users to choose one or more programming languages (e.g., C++, Python, Java, Go, JavaScript, Rust, and more) during the initial setup or first launch.
  • Save these selections in the plugin’s configuration so they persist.
  • Provide a command or configuration method that allows users to add or remove languages whenever they want, without the need to reinstall or reconfigure from scratch.
  1. Language-Specific Compile & Run Support
  • Supply sensible default compile and run commands tailored to each supported language.
  • Let users customise or override these commands as needed through configuration.
  • Structure the system so that adding support for new languages in the future is straightforward and intuitive.
