dotfiles-nvim VS hotpot.nvim

Well it certainly doesn't know what to do with my nvim dotfiles since I use fennel for it all

Yes, the init.fnl is here

Dotfiles themselves if it helps get the layout across

I use fennel for all my Neovim stuff (besides whatever plugins I contribute to ofc). Obligatory dotfiles

Config in fennel

Configs if interested

Example from me: fzf command customized previewer source previewer

Here's my dotfiles if it helps at all. Written with Aniseed

That's where Kreative comes into play. Built off the backbone of kat.nvim, Kreative is designed to be as end user focused as possible. Absolutely no code knowledge is needed, simply create an appropriate file in /colors in your config for the colors you want, and Kreative will handle the rest when you set your colorscheme to it. An expanded file should only be 16 lines of Lua, most of that expanded table values. Just look at this example, 19 lines even with expansion and empty lines! Just input 8 colors, and you're off

hotpot.nvim

There are some plugins out there that provide the Lua glue code (e.g. hotpot.nvim), but you will still have to depend on Fennel. I have not tried any of these plugins, so I have no idea how well they work. Neovim is not Emacs, and Lua is a fine language by itself, so that's what I prefer to stick with. And Vim script of course, it may be bad for plugins, but it's actually quite nice for configuration.

Hotpot: this is mostly just a Fennel compiler, but it is quite nice at that

Another method would be to use hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim. It's much simpler with what it does, doesn't include the macros and helper functions but you might prefer it. Here's an example: https://github.com/rktjmp/paperplanes.nvim

While there isn't an lsp, https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim can give you diagnostics and https://github.com/Olical/conjure can give you cmp completions

I see there are 3 approaches Using aniseed: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed Using hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim Using plain fennel: https://git.sr.ht/~hauleth/dotfiles/tree/master/item/vim/.config/nvim/init.lua (this is just the one I found, lmk if theres a better version of this)

Hey y'all, I'm running into this issue. The solution is to remove the directory ~/.cache/nvim/hotpot. I would like to automate this when I upgrade my home environment packages as the issue seems to happen after a home-manager switch --flake --recreate-lock-file operation.

Here's a macro I wrote ages ago for my settings. Some might turn their noses up at doing this, because really you're just making a potentially leaky if not dysfunctional abstraction over nvim's actual API, but, well I did it for fun 🤷‍♂️.
