vimscript over lua
As for writing plugins though, Lua beats Vim script any time of the day. I wrote info.vim back in the early days and it was a major pain to write in Vim script. If I had to redo it today I would 100% write it in Lua.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Yeah, mapping a function instead of a mapping is even better. I just don't like if a predefined mapping is hard to remember or (even worse) conflicts with one of my existing mappings. Personally I like it the way Neovim's LSP client does it: you get a Lua (or Vim script) API that you can map yourself. In my info.vim I provide the commands :InfoNext, :InfoPrev and :InfoUp, but I also have a code snippet of reasonable default bindings in my README that people can just copy-past into their configuration. If they disagree with my defaults they can then change that snippet instead of having to fight my plugin to scrub away the defaults.

Man pages in color, with links
I think we're all aware of the Man plugin, What I really want is info.vim being distributed by default aswell.

Future plans for Autotools
A wiki is not adequate documentation and I hate this trend of making documentation HTML only. Not everyone uses or even can use a web browser. GNU software has this great tool called Texinfo which lets you write a proper book-sized documentation with proper table of contents, chapters, and indexes. You can generate HTML, PDF, and most importantly info files. You can read info files in your terminal, in Emacs, or even in Vim (wrote a plugin for that).

Does anyone use vim for lisp dev?
Sadly Vlime is the best I have experience with. It is very clunky, but it does work. There is nvlime which aims to improve the experience for Neovim, but I have not tried it yet because it requires the current master builds.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Hello community. I want to introduce my new plugin nvlime - which is a fork of old vim plugin Vlime (which in its turn alternative for slime extension for Emacs - Common Lisp development environment).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing info.vim and nvlime you can also consider the following projects:
vlime - A Common Lisp dev environment for Vim (and Neovim)
mondo - Simple Common Lisp REPL
vinfo - Vim info documentation reader, lets you read info pages within Vim or start it from the shell prompt (instead of Info)
slimv - Official mirror of Slimv versions released on vim.org
sidebar.nvim - A generic and modular lua sidebar for Neovim
evil - The extensible vi layer for Emacs.
Vim - The official Vim repository
neovim - Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
neoterm - Wrapper of some vim/neovim's :terminal functions.
nvim-metals - A Metals plugin for Neovim
rofi - Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement
