  • dotfiles

    Config files and miscellany (by jonpalmisc)

  • It’s pretty minimal right now as I’m in the process of porting over a larger config. Here’s what I have, although you might find it might be a bit underwhelming:

  • Fennel

    Lua Lisp Language

  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • I consider Lua 5.1/5.3/5.4 to be roughly their own language. Somewhat akin to a Python2 vs Python3. Completely manageable transition if you want, but best to stick to an implementation if you can. Within a platform, there are seemingly only ever bug fixes.

    NeoVim[0] had a few words on this topic.

  • conjure

    Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)

  • Not anymore! If you use Neovim, you can use Conjure: https://conjure.fun/
