[Rust] How to write my config file (init.lua) using nvim-oxi (init.rs)?
How about reading this doc? https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi/tree/main/examples

nvim-github-codesearch - a plugin for searching Github's code search API from within neovim
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

What's the deal with Fennel in Neovim?
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.
- Announcing nvim-utils, a new library for building Neovim plugins in Rust!
-
Introducing neovim config written in C
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!
- Experience with statically typed lang that compiles to lua for plugins/scripting?
-
A neovim previewer plugin written in rust
For your problem, there is a new nvim plugin framework nvim-oxi which seems promising, you may have a try.
-
Can neovim config be baked in to make neovim blazingly fast?
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.
-
Are there any 3rd party libraries which enables us to write nvim plugins?
nvim-oxi lets you do it in Rust…

A History of Lua
> 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.

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, with JIT and AOT compilers
it's based off MIR, does it have something to do with https://mlir.llvm.org/ ?
for typed lua, there is another effort https://github.com/teal-language/tl in addition to the mentioned typescript approach: https://github.com/andremm/typedlua

Lua Criticism Is Unwarranted
I had the pleasure of working with Lua 5.1 back in the late noughties. For me it's replaced Tcl whenever I want something I can configure above a C library. At the time I used it I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.
I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better but with the following example
function foo(x: number): string
- Why Fennel?
-
Algebraic data types in Lua (Almost) post
I wonder why the author doesn't use Teal [0] - a typed dialect of lua.

What's the deal with Fennel in Neovim?
There is already https://github.com/teal-language/tl, which is typed Lua. I think fennel exists to serve a different niche-- personally I use it not for any type features; I just like the syntax better, and others may find certain features like the macro system useful.

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Terra and Nelua are both very different in goals than Teal. Teal is literally gradual types integrated into Lua keeping as many of Lua's idioms as possible (to a fault[1]). Terra and Nelua are both very metaprogrammable systems programming languages. Nelua's goals are primarily to soften C's rough edges, comparable to something like Nim.
There's another one you missed in Pallene[2]. But again, it's goal was to optimize the stack sharing involved in using the C API. It also adds types though and maintains Lua idioms as much as possible.
