As a counterexample, I'm super perplexed at the helix team -- an editor that myself and many others migrated to because we know / like rust -- decided on a lisp for their plugin system. Having recently tried to get into lisp (3 or 4 different highly recommended books / courses)... I really wish they had gone in a different direction here. Tempted to go back to nvim -- the lua config was pretty nice!
- Scarbutt 2y agoCan't please everybody. I don't use Helix but I'll take scheme over lua for this. ;)
- friend_and_foe 2y agoI'm alright with it. I like lua. I learned to use it a little back when I'd mess with Conky, I haven't really done much with Luna otherwise but the syntax is cool. But lisp is really nice. I'm a helix user, and I'm eagerly awaiting some improvement work on Nyxt browser, both of which are designed for plugins scripted with lisp, so it will pay off for me down the road.
