vim9jit VS Neovim-from-scratch

That's not happening any time soon, but there's this project by one of Neovim's contributers that transpiles Vim9 script into Lua.

Probably feasible with https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit actually

There's https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit. It has reportedly been used to port Vim9script runtime files to Neovim.

Neovim is going to use a transpiler that covers vim9script code to lua code using the nvim api in the future (https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit)

I didn’t watch the streams because I wasn’t totally sure what he was even doing, but maybe this will take some of it off your hands: https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit

It could (rightly) be argued that neovim could just merge in vim9script, but I think this probably isn't the best more. I'm personally more in favor of getting a vim9 cross-compiler working, that way there's an easy way to support both. But that's my ignorant two cents on the matter.

A core contributor to Neovim is toying with a Vim9Script to Lua convertor.

That's not necessarily true.

Core maintainer of the Neovim Tjdevries is working on a compatibility layer that would allow vim9 to not only run in Neovim, but likely faster.

My understanding was the neovim folks decided this wasn't work the hassle. TJ already has https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit, which transpiles vim9scripts to lua, and that is much more likely the way things will go.

They also provide a "from-scratch" option, to be easier to understand

I would recommend the Neovim from Scratch series on Youtube with the addition of the code_runner.nvim plugin. It's a good config that will teach you a lot about configuring Neovim. code_runner.nvim is a nice addition, especially for a university student. Good luck!

I don't know myself how I learned neovim, but I started with using a repo called Neovim-from-scratch, but I'm not sure if it's still up to date, but I used it as my base config then started to add plugins I want and remove plugins I don't need. Most of the people recommend kickstart.nvim now as base config for neovim lua config.

Hey So I am trying to setup the neovim config for gopls and ts-server using [this](https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch/tree/06-LSP), Now I would like to clarify that I have copy pasted from this guys repo and I do understand what he is doing to some extent. But for some reason in the file `lua/user/lsp/handlers.lua` He creted the following function ```lua local function lsp_keymaps(bufnr)

This is the GitHub repo for the aforementioned playlist.

I would recommend LazyVim or Kickstart.nvim. If you don't want to do any configuration, LunarVim might be for you. I would recommend the Neovim from Scratch config since it is very good and essentially has an accompanying guide. However, it is slightly out of date and needs a few tweaks to work properly.
