With the release of Neovim 0.5.0, I felt it's worth asking: How can someone new to neovim start to take full advantage of its features?

• nvim-treesitter

• neovim

  1,384 76,465 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

I don't think so. While the ftplugin help pages don't mention lua at all, from what I understand vim script and lua can be used for any runtime file including ftplugin. For anything else you would have to have two files. one file with your actual code in it and a second file that is either lua/viml that loads the first.

• telescope-fzy-native.nvim

  7 172 0.0 Lua

  FZY style sorter that is compiled

  

Is it faster than telescope-fzy-native (fzY)? Does it provide better results?
