What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager use it to install the rest of your plugins.
These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language. It's much more robust than the regex-based default highlighting.
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig
This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults so you can get IDE features. You'll still need to install the LSP though.

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript
Read the rest
it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.
pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. They're documented at the top of the readme. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server
Best of luck! Happy hacking.
