Introduction
This week Neovim turned 10 years old, and to celebrate the team opened an official Neovim store where all proceeds go to continued Neovim development!
We have several exciting plugins from the community including a plugin testing framework extracted from core, an official pkl language integration by Apple, interesting blog posts and updates from xcodebuild.nvim and rustaceanvim.

Updated plugins
xcodebuild.nvim updates
Neovim plugin to Build, Run, and Test applications created with Xcode & Swift.
Recently xcodebuild.nvim added the possibility to browse code coverage, see snapshot tests diff, and a Test Explorer for easier navigation between tests.
rustaceanvim adds new testable command, failed test results diagnostics and neotest integration
Supercharge your Rust experience in Neovim! A heavily modified fork of rust-tools.nvim
The new testable command queries rust-analyzer for runnables, instead of using tree-sitter queries to build the test command. On neovim-nightly, tests will be run in the background, and failures will be displayed as diagnostics.
This can be integrated with a new neotest plugin which automatically configures the DAP strategy; reusing the existing :RustLsp debuggables logic.
This works with both cargo test and cargo-nextest.
