  • awesome-lua

    A curated list of quality Lua packages and resources.

  • Disclaimer: i'm still new to this world as well, i went through this for making use of luacheck, a linter tool for Lua, but the possibilities are just endless, you can take a peek at some awesome-lua repo on GitHub to find out the amazing tools that you can implement to your projects

  • luarocks

    LuaRocks is the package manager for the Lua programming language.

  • First, install Luarocks, i highly recommend taking a look at the wiki "Download" page on it's GitHub repo, there you can find installation instructions for Linux, BSD, MacOS and Windows

  • nvim-startup.lua

    Discontinued Displays neovim startup time

  • This is an example of one that i used for my plugin, but you might change that according to your needs

  • paq-nvim

    🌚 Neovim package manager

  • packers use_rocks seems cool, i actually use paq-nvim instead of packer as it's a less bloated version while keeping the benefit of being written in Lua

  • telescope-arecibo.nvim

    A Neovim Telescope extension for searching the web!

  • Now this makes sense . I was thunking about runtime dependencies as luarocks opens up a lot of opportunity . It's being used at some places already . like telescope-arecibo

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
