nvim-oxi VS impatient.nvim

How about reading this doc? https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi/tree/main/examples

thank you for the support! I'm pretty new to rust (and lua for that matter) so it took me a little while to get my head around how to use mlua in the context of a neovim plugin. Two resources that were really helpful for me were these two github projects: https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi and https://github.com/willothy/nvim-utils

nvim-oxi, which uses bindings to the C functions used by the lua API. Note that it's currently broken for nvim nightly, but I'm working on a fix.

I intended to do a rust version but I think it's too easy with nvim-oxi, feel free to take the initiative and make a blazing fast nvim config!

For your problem, there is a new nvim plugin framework nvim-oxi which seems promising, you may have a try.

Lol I started trying to see what that’d look like earlier this year: https://github.com/turboladen/init.rs. It works fine and loads pretty fast. Started by making https://github.com/turboladen/overkill_nvim, but stopped work after https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi showed up.

nvim-oxi lets you do it in Rust…

> now that https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi has come out, I am going to use it even less.

Woah, interesting ... provided there's success and uptake with this ... I'm imagining it could lead to a really slick and responsive editing experience that those of using (at least) slightly sluggish plugins might have been missing for a while now.

You could use impatient.nvim or the new vim.loader module if you’re on nightly. Both work really well. I used impatient for a long time and it reduced my startup time by half. I’m using vim.loader now and it reduces it by about the same amount

The 20-30 ms promise depends on your hardware. In my case, vanilla Neovim takes about 18 ms to startup, so a realistic good startup time for my config is around 50-60 ms. Lines of code isn’t a great reference either because you could just lazy load a bunch of plugins and have more LoC but still better startup times. What I would recommend is using lazy.nvim or if you wanna stick with packer, then pairing it with impatient.nvim .

automatically caches all startup code before :h VimEnter or :h BufReadPre (basically what impatient.nvim does)

there is an amazing plugin called impatient.nvim that cache a lot of stuff and make other pluggins go so fast !

Try installing https://github.com/lewis6991/impatient.nvim first.

:lua vim.pretty_print(vim.mpack.decode(vim.mpack.encode({some = { thing = false }}))) used by impatient.nvim

Did you defined your [[ and ]] mappings in that file or just created it? the after directory runs at the end of your config so you can override this kind of settings. Maybe you are using impatient.nvim? From their README:

Are you using impatient.nvim? It caches lua modules. My startuptime with 72 plugins (including it) and zero lazy loading is 600ms.
