as in we can use lua instead of vimscript?

dominicm12:05:45

That's right.

Are there any examples out in the wild for using an init.lua?

dominicm12:05:58

I think you'd still have to do luafile init.lua in your init.vim.

:help api.txt documents the api available afaik.

It's just hit HEAD this last week, so very fresh.

This does mean that unite will get much faster for neovim users.

@dominicm I'll try porting nvimux and iron.nvim to Lua when I get time... If I succeed, I'll attempt acid.nvim as well.

dominicm21:05:36

lua seems like a nice mid-point between "ew, vimscript" and "ugh, gotta install pip"

dominicm21:05:48

I'm excited to see how that looks @ingvij

I'll try nvimux first, which seems simpler.. Acid.nvim is quite complex (bencode and async stuff). Nonetheless, it seems a great opportunity and I'll try to document those steps with a series of blog posts
