nvim-oxi VS neodev.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.

Also the vim API signature is not available using the fennel-language-server In lua you can install neodev and you will get some nice lsp suggestions with the vim API, this is sadly not possible in fennel right now

Other than the root_dir problem, I think the lsp server might have been attached but configuration would be different. For instance, if one is using folke's neodev for API completion (https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim/issues/158) it would work differently for nvim config files and other lua workspaces.

Try to debug what happens on exit, maybe https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#-V works. Regarding nvim-cmp being slow, do you have https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim installed? If yes, try removing it and checking if it's an issue. It's been slowing down my completion for a while until I pinpointed the issue (and it was slowing it down always, not just when editing lua code).

You can try neodev.nvim. It's really great especially if you're planning for plugin development.

Are you using https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim ?

Okay i figured it out myself https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim provides lua files with the required type signatures.
