Yes, on a related note Neovim just got support for WASM plugins and apparently WASM is 100% faster than Lua (neovim's default plugin language runtime) for this use case according to the author. So now plugins in any language that can be compiled to WASM are possible.

- pjmlp 3y agoNo wonder, since Lua is interpreted and not a fast one at it, unless LuaJIT comes into the picture.
- meepmorp 3y agoNeovim uses LuaJIT, iirc.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoLua is one of the fastest interpreted languages. Magnificently so if you consider LuaJIT.
- n8henrie 3y agoThis looks like an interesting project! Your phrases made me think the wasm support was an official nvim move, but it looks like this is a third party project. Is that right?
