Please, help with highlights.
those are gitsigns. read :h gitsigns-highlight-groups. i think the first 3 ones (gitsignsadd, gitsignschange, gitsignsdelete) would need their background cleared.

Algebraic data types in Lua (Almost) post
Lack of tooling/LSP support compared to Lua. A rather popular neovim plugin, gitsigns, recently switched from teal to regular lua for (among other reasons) the tooling.

lazy.nvim is the most popular plugin manager of Neovim. Typical Neovim distributions, such as LazyVim or NvChad, use lazy.nvim in base, so many users use lazy.nvim without knowing it. Here I wrote one point advice to use lazy.nvim.

My Flow and Productivity has Improved with the Simplicity of Neovim
My first attempt at a distro was NvChad. NvChad is well-liked, polished, and a really good place to start. I know as of this writing, Rakesh is still flying high with NvChad and enjoys it very much. Something about it felt too proprietary though. Custom loaders, dealing with packages in certain ways, and that sort of thing. I wanted something prebuilt but felt more like KickStart in that plugin adds and configurations felt more Neovim "native".
