  • [discussion] Why don't more (any?) plugin authors use penlight?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 30 Sep 2022
    Have you seen the code base of penlight? 1. TBH, I don't think it takes a good perf, it's a lot of overhead to package Lua into Python. In my dev plugin experience, I rarely deal with complicated data. vim.tbl_ is enough for me. 2. My personal choice, I prefer JavaScript style rather than Python. 3. I tend to use the libs like luafun with perf gain or Lua binding libs, but I don't have this need at present. 4. Can steal a small piece of code to keep away from dependency.
  • Is luajit really that fast?

    you could refactor using luajit + luafun
