    There are some plugins out there that provide the Lua glue code (e.g. hotpot.nvim), but you will still have to depend on Fennel. I have not tried any of these plugins, so I have no idea how well they work. Neovim is not Emacs, and Lua is a fine language by itself, so that's what I prefer to stick with. And Vim script of course, it may be bad for plugins, but it's actually quite nice for configuration.

    Another method would be to use hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim. It's much simpler with what it does, doesn't include the macros and helper functions but you might prefer it. Here's an example: https://github.com/rktjmp/paperplanes.nvim

    I see there are 3 approaches Using aniseed: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed Using hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim Using plain fennel: https://git.sr.ht/~hauleth/dotfiles/tree/master/item/vim/.config/nvim/init.lua (this is just the one I found, lmk if theres a better version of this)

    Here's a macro I wrote ages ago for my settings. Some might turn their noses up at doing this, because really you're just making a potentially leaky if not dysfunctional abstraction over nvim's actual API, but, well I did it for fun πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.
