  • Swapping to Fennel

    Zest: similar to Aniseed, but much less expansive. It's a good option if you want a bit less diy if you want to deal with macros
  • Hotter Hotpot: bytecode cache beta branch
    10 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Mar 2022
    zest provides some macros for configuring Neovim and is usable with Hotpot or Aniseed.
  • 🍲 Hotpot - Seamless Fennel in Neovim (YAFP)

    Hotpot doesn't aim to be as feature rich as Aniseed or Zest. It does not provide a library of modules, macros or functions for configuring Neovim, those are intentionally left as an exercise for the reader.

    Thanks for mentioning zest! I'm certain that it will remain primarily a macro library. I've disabled the tiny compiler it ships with by default to prevent any confusion. As such, it should be compatible with hotpot out of the box.

    I have since then been working on turning it into a plugin called zest.nvim, which I encourage you to check out!

    I've studied how zest works since I've been musing about rich macros like this being a core part of Aniseed for a while and I notice some striking similarities to some of the code there. Had deja vu and had to look it up to confirm, definitely some shared code.

    I would greatly appreciate it if linked to zest.nvim in your readme.
  • Orgmode.nvim - Orgmode clone written in Lua for Neovim 0.5.

    Another plugin that gave me realization is zest.nvim, which uses the Fennel language to simplify configuration by a lot. Fennel's lispyness, REPL, and macros is gonna be a huge boost in Neovim productivity.

    Also, this is a shameless plug, but I'm working on a macro library that aims to streamline the configuration process of neovim with fennel. It is a heavy WIP, but I think at this point it conveys the general idea reasonably well. See tsbohc/zest.nvim for more details.
