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

You just need a fennel-to-lua transpiler like tangerine.nvim and you're set.

You can use fennel in neovim with https://github.com/Olical/aniseed or https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim :)

I'm not using conjure, actually. I'm using tangerine, it has a command to evaluate fennel code too.

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" } } }

There is also https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim As I understand it it’s a more lightweight more neovim focused fennel to lua transpiler which would act as a replacement for aniseed.

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

zest provides some macros for configuring Neovim and is usable with Hotpot or Aniseed.

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 would greatly appreciate it if linked to zest.nvim in your readme.

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.
