nlua - neovim as lua interpreter

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nlua

I had previously written about how to create a script that uses neovim and emulates the lua interpreter cli - now I finally got around to extract it into a dedicated project, with some instructions on how to use it with luarocks.

Seems very simple yet very useful. Thanks for sharing this to Lemmy!

How come it requires such a newer neovim, though? I'm still in 0.7, and I've not bothered to upgrade (mostly because the many OSs in which I work on, this tends to be painful).

Thanks!

Definitely worth it. Kudos for the tool and all your plugins.

NeoVim is really starting to feel like Emacs with extra steps

Evil mode converts emacs into an actually usable editor

[–] DaleGribble88 3 points 1 year ago

I meant more of how Emacs is really an interactive environment for a lisp interpreter. That is where you get all the "Emacs as an operating system" jokes from. NVim seems to be falling down the same rabbit hole of extensions and obscure commands except by way of Lua rather than Lisp.

Wait if I'm understanding this correctly, this let's you run neovim code with a lua debugger/lets you write tests. That's actually so cool!
