lua-vs-vimscript VS nvim-colorizer.lua

Here’s a benchmark from an internet stranger: https://github.com/henriquehbr/lua-vs-vimscript

I don't know the exact reason for this, but if I had to guess it probably comes down to the fact that in Neovim Lua is significantly faster than vimscript (with vim9 the performance gap narrowed, but afaik there is no intention to port vim9script to neovim), and that vim-sleuth heavily relies on Regex.

I decided to create a basic repository automating the environment for running this benchmark, you can find it on GitHub

I'm new to neovim and want to change the default config options for colorizer.lua.

Even though we're on r/vim, many people here actually use Neovim, so I have to ask: do you have tree-sitter? If so, you need to enable the additional_vim_regex_highlighting option of the highlight module in nvim-treesitter since vim-css-color depends on Vim's syntax highlighting rather than Neovim's. An alternative would be to use a Neovim plugin that does the same thing with tree-sitter support – e.g nvim-colorizer (I haven't tested it at all).

It's nvim-colorizer if that would help.

- Is there a way to replace something like colorizer with your plugin?

norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua - A high-performance color highlighter

I've been using https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua

Are you sure about the name? I could not find any vim or neovim plugin called 'colorstil'. The closest google suggestion is this one https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua

I'm using nvim-colorizer and sometimes that happens, :e forces the buffer to re-render which fixes it.

If you're using neovim, u can use https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua, it's the one I use currently.
