FAQ

Q. This code looks like AI slop!

A. No LLM was used: if the code looks bad, it is because I wrote this application to learn Rust.

Q. What's with the Google Style?

A. Google Style supports high-performance Java development, and most developers roughly follow it:

• Single top-level class with matching .java name supports search, fuzzy-finder
• Variable naming conventions support easier code review and understanding
• Import restrictions (e.g. no wildcards) support efficient analysis

Q. Where's completion / go-to-definition? I can't live without it!

A. These features are coming, continue to use ctags for now.

Q. Where's workspace symbol search? I can't live without it!

A. This feature is coming, I recommend a good fuzzy finder or ctags for now.

Q. What about running tests from my editor? This is essential for TDD!

A. I strongly recommend vim-test for this.

If your java build uses gradle, the daemon allows for very fast iteration with no config hassle. Black magic.

Q. Where's XYZ fancy refactoring? I can't live without it!

A. Currently the code actions are minimal. Check out some alternatives for now:

• vim-doge and neogen can generate Javadoc
• ast-grep can do structural search/rewrite

Q. What's with the name?

A. This program is named after the Javanese writing system. (ڤَيڮَون)
