> That said I'd have preferred something other than Lua if I had the choice. Denops is super easy to use, works great. Connects over RPC. https://github.com/vim-denops/denops.vim Nvim-oxi is wild. Uses neovim's FFI to let you write Rust that talks directly to neovim. https://github.com/noib3/nvim-oxi Denops has always been a niche but it was a really popular niche for a couple years. Activity is fading somewhat. I'm still doing my plugin dev in lua, and it's... survivable. But I do think of switching more into one of these options.
