  • Is your NeoVim still fast after adding plugins ?
    14 projects | /r/neovim | 4 Nov 2021
    But, I lazy load my plugins like NvChad and Akinsho's dotfiles. Both really solid reference points

    Alternatively, if you want to be maybe unnecessarily fancy, I stole some small part of the idea in my init.lua here, it's definitely overkill I was just curious having looked at tj's PR although one upside is once his PR is merged I can just delete the function and alias `opt` to `vim.opt`
