NvChad
An attempt to make neovim cli as functional as an IDE while being very beautiful, blazing fast.
Project mention: I am trying to make a list of good open-source programs for Linux defined by category for beginners. Can you help me expand it? | reddit.com/r/linux | 2022-01-15You're right that it is not an IDE "out of the box" but there is now quite a few project that allow you to download a packaged neovim ad an IDE. Like nvchad : https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad

Project mention: Being Linux/terminal/neovim user, how would you view Markdown document containing images? | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-20
If you use telescope, there's an extension that might have what you're looking for. At least maybe in some regard.

Starting from 2.10.0-beta Tarantool can natively run on M1 chips. So far this is preliminary support: something may crash or run unstable. We have resolved almost all bugs we knew about, with a few minor ones left. For example, there are some issues with the JIT compiler. But this didn't prevent the team product manager from installing Tarantool on his new MacBook Air and running it every day.

I did this with my programming language Nomsu. I took a lot of inspiration from Moonscript. Using lua/luajit as a backend was the right choice for my project because I was using LPEG for parsing and I wanted to interoperate with lapis (a Lua web framework). I think overall, I do not regret my choice to use lua as a backend. It worked pretty well for me. However, I wouldn't recommend it if you're making a strongly typed language (because you'd miss out on some potential performance optimizations), but for a dynamically typed language, it's a good option. One thing that was really handy was Lua's goto, which made it easy to do custom control flow (e.g. break out of nested loops).

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Start exploring official documentation, there is section about default configuration. You can also take a look at existing themes like awesome-copycats or manilaromes glorious dotfiles and see how they do things and start experimenting.

Project mention: Lua Implementing Classes with Class Inheritance. Thoughts? | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-12-30
A bit random, but ask Hisham - the old legend that bootstrapped GoboLinux originally (with others; and lucas), created htop and maintained it for many years and these days co-maintains (I think) LuaRocks ( https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks ). Perhaps he may even write a blog post if people give a friendly nudge.

ZeroBraneStudio
Lightweight Lua-based IDE for Lua with code completion, syntax highlighting, live coding, remote debugger, and code analyzer; supports Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, LuaJIT and other Lua interpreters on Windows, macOS, and Linux
You may want to make sure you're using the latest version from the master branch of ZeroBrane Studio, as there was a fix applied that fixed an issue with newer versions of IUP (https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/issues/1092).

packer.nvim
A use-package inspired plugin manager for Neovim. Uses native packages, supports Luarocks dependencies, written in Lua, allows for expressive config
Project mention: Collect the commit hash of plugins before an update | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-22Well, it's a good idea, but someone beat you to it! There is a PR pending in Packer that will do the same thing, It looks close to being merged: https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim/pull/370

lua-resty-auto-ssl
On the fly (and free) SSL registration and renewal inside OpenResty/nginx with Let's Encrypt.
There is like, this package https://github.com/auto-ssl/lua-resty-auto-ssl that is very tempting, the problem is, that I think I will have scalability problems, like, how will I put a Load balancer in front of my application or a CDN, if the certificate should be installed in them?
-
Project mention: dirbuf.nvim: A file manager which let's you edit your filesystem like you edit text | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-16
This is my first Neovim plugin and it doesn't (and probably will never) have as many frills as other file managers like nvim-tree.lua, but I hope some people find it useful.
-
luafun
Lua Fun is a high-performance functional programming library for Lua designed with LuaJIT's trace compiler in mind.
you could refactor using luajit + luafun

Project mention: Have you ever achieved a keyboard only desktop environment without sacrifices? | reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace | 2021-08-27
luakit
-
Sadly the scenario that the successor feature is intended to alleviate has very much become reality. The creator of Luacheck (Peter Melnichenko) passed away a couple of years ago, and ever since then the GitHub repository has been in a state of limbo. Multiple unofficial forks have come and gone, but Peter's is still the first result on Google if you search "luacheck". It isn't even possible to change the README or pin an issue to get people's attention about the fork; to this day people are still posting issues to the old repo.
And Luacheck is "the" Lua static analysis tool that pretty much everyone uses, so it's a very significant issue.
-
Penlight
A set of pure Lua libraries focusing on input data handling (such as reading configuration files), functional programming (such as map, reduce, placeholder expressions,etc), and OS path management. Much of the functionality is inspired by the Python standard libraries.
Project mention: Trying Fennel for GTK apps and it's surprisingly good | reddit.com/r/lisp | 2021-09-20As for batteries, there's things like penlight which comes with a huge set of pure Lua libraries inspired by Python. And, well, there's Fennel libraries with macros and more lispy style APIs.

trouble.nvim
🚦 A pretty diagnostics, references, telescope results, quickfix and location list to help you solve all the trouble your code is causing.
Project mention: Any neovim plugin that uses self-defined character in comments to generate a "Table of Contents", like the ToDo Tree for Vscode? | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-19https://github.com/folke/todo-comments.nvim in combination with https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim

Project mention: Best Status Line/Bar For Nvim And Some Plugins Recomedation | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-13
I either go with lualine or use no plugins
-
Project mention: I open sourced a game I just released on Steam, written in Lua | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-05-23
For anyone else looking to make a game in Lua + Love2D, a developer wrote an entire tutorial for how they made their game, which is also released on Steam: https://github.com/a327ex/BYTEPATH. Both the game and the tutorial are high quality, and provide really useful insights.

Project mention: mini.doc - generate help files from EmmyLua-like annotations | reddit.com/r/neovim | 2022-01-20
I am happy to announce mini.doc - module of mini.nvim for generating help files (what you read when using :help) from EmmyLua-like annotations (not fully complying with this standard but very close). The basic idea is to keep documentation close to Lua implementation and generate help files automatically. It was written mainly to document 'mini.nvim' (instead of previous great but not that flexible tjdevries/tree-sitter-lua), but other people can also benefit from this. And not only plugin authors: general user can also document their Neovim Lua setup!
