I can't build neovim
Hi, I had this issue and I solved it by building https://github.com/luvit/luv myself.

Where do I go after learning lua?
To answer the OP's question, you could tackle luv and libuv ecosystem, as a way to connect Lua to real-world systems (files, sockets, servers...). That's one way to put Lua skills to use, there are other great answers in the thread. Another recommendation is to go through Programming in Lua book, especially the later chapters where you learn how Lua talks to the host application.

What's the dogmatic way of dealing with leading and trailing newlines when running an external shell command from Neovim?
Alternatively you can get into the weeds and play around with the in built vim.loop (which is really just luv, specifically spawn to run commands on the OS and handle stdout processing via stream.
-
Purist neovim config
Unfortunately I doubt they are able to use netrw, it interfaces with user facing buffers too much. Telescope uses plenary which uses lua's luv implementation (bound to vim.loop). Fzf-lua uses an external binary called fzf
- Is it possible to get a program that doesn't use LUA to send data to a LUA program?
-
Library support situation?
Lua is still actively used so there is a great number of libraries that came out in last 9 years. A decent example is the luv library that is packed with great functionality. On the whole I'm quite satisfied with the ecosystem, but it all depends on the domain.
-
Run external process from neovim with lua
You should be able to find plenty of examples of asynchronous code at https://github.com/luvit/luv and translate it.

How do I use libuv filesystem event operations for handling filesystem management for plugins?
The first thing I would recommend is read the official documentation. Both libuv and luvit (or more specifically luv)
-
luv documentation in vimdoc format
I spent some time converting the luv documentation to make it available in :help and make the vim.loop module more discoverable. Thought plugin authors might be interested.

[Question] Multithreading in Neovim
I'm assuming this one.

Issues compiling binary (ARM)
One more thing: if you are building because Luvit is not precompiled for your architecture, you will need to follow the instructions found here: https://github.com/luvit/luvi/issues/236
