dotfiles.nix VS nvim-moonwalk

I redid my config [0] using Tangerine recently and am very happy with it. Lisps are such a great thing just from a syntax and readability perspective alone. Can't understand all that startup time craze though, my Neovim has always been opening without any perceptible lag without me doing anything to optimize it. Maybe it's just me…

I can recommend using Fennel with Tangerine (integration) and Hibiscus (macros). My config here for inspiration.

Been using it for months, and as I’m trying Helix currently, I also ported it: Helix version.

There's also gpanders/nvim-moonwalker, which advertises Fennel in it's readme but works for any x->lua language you return the lua code for, ie: teal, moonscript, uh... others?

I used Hotpot for ~a year or so and loved it. I recently discovered https://github.com/gpanders/nvim-moonwalk as an even more minimalist option.

moonwalk which supports Fennel by way of supporting any x → lua language. Not sure if it tracks dependency changes when recompiling though* as it's a more generic solution.

https://github.com/gpanders/nvim-moonwalk allows you to use any language that compiles to Lua.
