vim-launchpad

This plugin provides automatic zero-configuration "Build and Run" functionality in a language-agnostic way. Vim by default ships with usable build support as per :h :compiler and :h 'makeprg'. The goal is to not stray too far from this original idiomatic vim compiler support and leverage for example the builtin quickfix error jumping from :h :cexpr, and then extend it in the following principles:

• Make the build step asynchronous
• Allow to launch the built program
• Require zero configuration for the common case
• Provide a reasonable interface (e.g. show program output)
• Add debugging integration with vimspector

Installation

Using vim-plug:

Plug 'vimpostor/vim-launchpad'

Alternatives

• vim-dispatch
• asyncrun
• neomake

These alternatives are good in their own rights, but do not provide an opinionated "just works" experience like this plugin does.
