What would be the significant benefits if one would develop equivalent libraries that are available for Python for Lua/Nelua?
Lua is a small language and its "standard library" is very minimal. Lua's intended for embedding so usually the host program provides a broader standard library by exposing functions to lua. However, there are several standard library packages for lua: batteries and lume are focused on gamedev; Penlight aims at bringing the breadth of python's stdlib to lua; plenary.nvim for nvim plugins; and probably more for other domains. I'd definitely recommend checking these out to help get closer to functionality level of most other languages (I use both lume and batteries, but dropped penlight awhile back because I found some implementations confusing/overcomplicated/inconsistent).

Common Data Types?
Some are featureful like batteries, some are minimal like hump.

The first release of DeathVim
Making a lua-based distro might benefit from packing in an existing lua utility library instead of starting your own: lume (useful single file of utilities) or batteries (organized into modules).

How To Create An UI Menu In Neovim
we can create a function to open a pop up menu using plenary.popup like this, you need to install neovim plenary if you don't already have it https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim

How can I run a vim.cmd asynchronously?
If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

How to send curl requests without plugin dependency and read the result all in Lua?
I feel this :( That said, alot of plugins rely on plenary.nvim. Its up to you if you determine this is "non-essential" or not. It will almost certainly be available for you to use already.

nvim-http: A simple yet modern HTTP client for neovim
The big reason I ask is that reaching out to an external python shell to run commands (disregard the fact that its python running) is going to be much slower than using the in built lua JIT interpreter. Additionally, plenary has a built in curl function so you don't have to "reinvent the wheel".

Testing my config?
There is also test harness in nvim-lua/plenary.nvim with a slightly different design, but still usable of course.

How to write `pretty_print`ed json data into a json file?
I am simply using busted or more specifically vusted which is a wrapper around busted for Neovim. It should be quite straightforward to learn the basics, I would say you mostly need to know these functions: describe, it (these are used to structure your test cases) and assert.are_same (to check for table equality). Some people are also using plenary which is also based on busted.

Neovim Lua Nix plugin template
It's based on nvim-lua-plugin-template, but uses Nix flakes to run plenary.nvim tests.
