Neovim is tired of waiting for you to grok assembly code.

A developer has released AssemblyForNeovim, a plugin that pops a floating window inside the Neovim editor to instantly show you the compiled assembly code for your C, C++, or Rust functions. It’s essentially a floating, integrated version of the popular Compiler Explorer (Godbolt) tool, triggered with a simple keystroke. The plugin lets you see what your fancy high-level abstractions actually compile down to, right as you’re coding.

For the curious programmer or performance obsessive, this removes the friction of constantly Alt-Tabbing to a browser to check a compiler's output. It’s a delightful quality-of-life improvement for anyone who’s ever wondered why their loop isn't vectorizing or how many instructions that one-liner actually costs. In short, it’s a handy little window into the machine's soul, delivered straight to your editor without the ceremony.
