dotfiles VS vlime

Unrelated but WOW do our blog styles look similar! https://oli.me.uk

/u/Wolfy87 (Olical, the dev of Conjure), has his dotfiles/neovim config here, they're in fennel but it's relatively easy to read and port to lua if you're looking for a neovim config example.

There were 2 dotfiles projects that was very handy: aniseed author's dotfiles, some random config I found on reddit.

The creator of a popular plugin called conjure has a fennel based config. Here is his

And mine :D https://github.com/Olical/dotfiles/blob/191c30331f4589debdd75c705c24ea3a25283e8c/stowed/.config/nvim/fnl/dotfiles/plugin.fnl (all through Aniseed)

https://github.com/vlime/vlime works for me fine

You should try out Vlime, it is a bit janky but it beats copy-pasting into a terminal any day.

Maybe you should stick to one new thing at a time. Vim is more than capable of handling Common Lisp. Look at Slimv and Vlime for vim-style SLIME. Focus on CL first. You can come back to Doom / Emacs later.

Neovim works just fine. I use Neoterm to send-to-repl, here's what my config looks like. Your other options include vlime and slimv. I switched to neoterm because it's simple, explicit, and doesn't create unpredictable windows. Works for any other language just as well.

A proper Neovim client for Slime or Sly. The closest is Vlime, but its UI is really janky.

Join me vim brother and don't settle for forcing yourself to use emacs while developing in CL when you don't have to! You even have two vim options! https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv and https://github.com/vlime/vlime with a great comparison of the two: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

If you're interested more in Common Lisp, there's both vlime and vim-slime however I don't have any experience with them.

I think I'll dig at vimtutor within a few days, then. I've seen it mentioned a few times already, so now's a good time I reckon. Like you said, I'll be avoiding plugins, but with the guide I referenced, vlime is mentioned. You don't think that'll be too problematic on Windows, do you? I recall seeing that plenty of plugins don't work outside of linux. Thanks again, btw!

That's quite a tough question because different people appreciate different things about Emacs. Personally I use Neovim as my text editor with Vlime for live Common Lisp integration (works with Vim as well). Vlime uses the same backend as Slime for Emacs, so the features should be the same, even if the interface is different. I know there is also Slima for Atom, but I have never used Atom, so no idea how well it works.
