packer.nvim VS lazy-require.nvim

I've been using this fork https://github.com/EdenEast/packer.nvim/tree/feat/lockfile for a few weeks now, and it works like a charm. The pull request has unfortunately not been merged yet: https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim/pull/1010

local function install_packer() print("-- Installing Packer...") local packer_path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim" vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "-b", "feat/lockfile", "--depth", "1", "https://github.com/EdenEast/packer.nvim", packer_path }) vim.cmd "packadd packer.nvim" end

Normally you can use tjdevries/lazy-require.nvim/ but sadly neotest's function is hidden under 2-depth table.

But FYI, there might be a name clash with https://github.com/tjdevries/lazy.nvim :-/

Here is my understanding. There is a penalty for using vim.cmd or accessing vim functions. They supposedly will only run as fast as they would in vimscript it's self so not very fast. Not sure of any of them are actually functioning different from their vimscript implementation. Vim.cmd likely is even slower since it requires the extra overhead of persing the vimscript. For lazy loading take a look at https://github.com/tjdevries/lazy.nvim .
