There’s Hy, for Python.

I tinkered w/ that a bit before giving up and just using Clojure.

There are actually ancient mzscheme bindings for Vim. I don’t think they exist in Neovim. I actually used them to build a simple Vim plugin w/ a modern version of Racket. IMO that was the ideal solution, but unfortunately it requires one to compile Vim w/ +mzscheme or whatever and wasn’t easy to get working.

Lua is better because it's embedded into NeoVim. Some people really are attached to having portable neovim configs which work on servers with minimal tinkering (stock neovim + nothing else should be enough)

oh no doubt

But I was also considering Hy, if there's acceptance of Python as acceptable for this.

well wait, Lua > Python ?

I mean, even fireplace requires Python, so it's probably not much of a discussion.

Are you talking about writing Clojure-related plugins, or just Neovim plugins in general?

Primarily Clojure-related I guess, yeah.

I think clojure-related can be piped primarily to local via ssh. I'm not sure how many people actually use neovim on a remote server in e.g. staging, but can have init.vim
