nvim-moonwalk VS hibiscus.nvim

There's also gpanders/nvim-moonwalker, which advertises Fennel in it's readme but works for any x->lua language you return the lua code for, ie: teal, moonscript, uh... others?

I used Hotpot for ~a year or so and loved it. I recently discovered https://github.com/gpanders/nvim-moonwalk as an even more minimalist option.

moonwalk which supports Fennel by way of supporting any x → lua language. Not sure if it tracks dependency changes when recompiling though* as it's a more generic solution.

https://github.com/gpanders/nvim-moonwalk allows you to use any language that compiles to Lua.

local function bootstrap(url, ref) local name = url:gsub(".*/", "") local path = vim.fn.stdpath [[data]] .. "/lazy/" .. name if vim.fn.isdirectory(path) == 0 then print(name .. ": installing in data dir...") vim.fn.system { "git", "clone", url, path } if ref then vim.fn.system { "git", "-C", path, "checkout", ref } end vim.cmd [[redraw]] print(name .. ": finished installing") end vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(path) end bootstrap("https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim") -- Optional and only needed if you also want the macros bootstrap("https://github.com/udayvir-singh/hibiscus.nvim") require 'tangerine'.setup { target = vim.fn.stdpath [[data]] .. "/tangerine", -- compile files in &rtp rtpdirs = { "ftplugin", }, compiler = { -- disable popup showing compiled files verbose = false, -- compile every time changes are made to fennel files or on entering vim hooks = { "onsave", "oninit" } }, }

I can recommend using Fennel with Tangerine (integration) and Hibiscus (macros). My config here for inspiration.

For ease of use, you can use conjure for evaluating the code, cmp-conjure for nvim completions, hibiscus.nvim and nyoom.nvim macros for macros, and you can also use nyoom.nvim as a base config.

Hibiscus.nvim:

local function bootstrap (name, url, path) if vim.fn.isdirectory(path) == 0 then print(name .. ": installing in data dir...") vim.fn.system {"git", "clone", "--depth", "1", url, path} vim.cmd [[redraw]] print(name .. ": finished installing") end end bootstrap ( "tangerine.nvim", "https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim", vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/site/pack/packer/start/tangerine.nvim" ) bootstrap ( "hibiscus.nvim", "https://github.com/udayvir-singh/hibiscus.nvim", vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/site/pack/packer/start/hibiscus.nvim" ) require'tangerine'.setup{ compiler = { verbose = false, hooks = { "onsave", "oninit" } } }

Fennel with hibiscus:

But, you can use another plugin of mine Hibiscus which contains bulk of zest and aniseed macros.
