aniseed

There is a plugin to help you do so: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed Didn't try it myself though.

> There's no such easy way out for Lua. I think there are some Lisp/Clojure inspired languages developed for Neovim which are used in Lua. https://github.com/Olical/conjure https://github.com/Olical/aniseed https://github.com/Olical/nfnl

Something similar: Fennel (https://fennel-lang.org/) is a lisp that compiles into Lua, which neovim can use as plugins, so you can write neovim plugins in a lisp. Aniseed (https://github.com/Olical/aniseed) makes this really easy. Aniseed is also used by Conjure (Interactive development environment for neovim, used for evaluating Fennel code inside of neovim), which is also made by the same author. Really great plugin for doing Clojure development with neovim. https://github.com/Olical/conjure

Neovim supports Lua and Fennel (a Lisp atop Lua) https://fennel-lang.org/ https://github.com/Olical/aniseed

Just use vim. Yes, emacs has a lisp engine, but so does nvim[1]. Really, though, using vim properly means that it doesn't need to swallow the kitchen sink[2]. Just use vim. 1: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed 2: https://blog.djha.skin/p/emacs-users-im-okay-i-promise/

I just finished moving my nvim’s dotfiles from lua to fennel with help of https://github.com/Olical/aniseed It works quite seamlessly.

My favorite compile-to-lua language: Fennel - https://fennel-lang.org/ Incidentally, my favorite Clojure environment for Neovim is written in Fennel! https://github.com/Olical/conjure (via Aniseed [https://github.com/Olical/aniseed] which enables you to write Neovim configuration and plugins in Fennel)

The first transpiler to mention here would be https://fennel-lang.org/ and https://github.com/Olical/aniseed

I'm a (neo)vim user that's been playing around with various Lisps lately. CL and Scheme interaction is worlds ahead in Emacs, but even with evil-mode, I'm having a hard time. There's lots of places where it just stops working, and I have to remember Emacs bindings. Emacs 27 and 28 are more responsive, especially on Windows, but vim actions are near instantaneous. A cool project I stumbled across is Aniseed[0], which thanks to Neovim's Lua bindings, lets you control neovim with Fennel. I haven't done anything noteworthy yet, but for the first time it actually seems like it would be fun to write my own plugins. [0] - https://github.com/Olical/aniseed

I don't see it mentioned but there is a neovim plugin called conjure [1] that is written in fennel. This is a general purpose REPL client that works for Clojure (I use it daily for Clojure and ClojureScript) but also for fennel itself. So you can have a really nice neovim plugin dev experience using this tool. Conjure works with fennel out of the box, but if you want to go deeper you may be interested in another plugin called aniseed [2] which provides interesting facilities for the fennel language and that is used internally by conjure. Disclaimer: I am not the author of those tools, just a random Clojure dev. [1] https://github.com/Olical/conjure [2] https://github.com/Olical/aniseed
