ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine) is a plugin providing linting (syntax checking and semantic errors) in NeoVim 0.6.0+ and Vim 8.0+ while you edit your text files, and acts as a Vim Language Server Protocol client.

I prefer ALE to null-ls or none-ls. It just seems like a simpler solution.

@inaction_figure TBH, I'd prefer editor that would be like vim and did not have plugin support. Then these types of issues could be argued and decided in the upstream.

The single biggest issue in modern software is plugins and making everything a development environment.

@inaction_figure Ugh, cannot use this. It is not useful enough to turn LSP on :-) I use only ctags.

I hear you. Simpler is better. I just use ALE for code linting as I work. I have it set to check only on save.
