zest.nvim VS nvim.conf

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.

I am using Lazy with Hotpot right now, maybe my dotfiles can help you: https://github.com/datwaft/nvim.conf

Here is the code: https://github.com/datwaft/nvim.conf/blob/main/fnl/conf/health.fnl

scripts under after/ftplugin are loaded on their respective filetype, so you can use those for per-filetype settings. See https://github.com/datwaft/nvim.conf/tree/main/after/ftplugin for an example

datwaft's nvim.conf is often cited as a good fennel config to peak at.

Here is my telescope configuration, it could be of any use: https://github.com/datwaft/nvim/blob/master/fnl/crux/core/pack/telescope.fnl

datwaft has a pretty extensive fennel config, he uses hotpot and probably pushes it hardest, at least he's been great at finding all the sharp edges where fennel, hotpot and neovim intersect!

I am using Fennel (which is a Lisp that compiles to Lua) with Aniseed and some personal macros that you can see here to make my configuration idiomatic and good looking.
