The C O M F Y configuration for Neovim
When I had heard Neovim 0.5 allowed for a pure Lua configuration I jumped on that bandwagon so hard! I first tried to port my original comfy.vim over to using Lua but for some reason I gave up and started to use LunarVim.
LunarVim was cool and all, I even made a few PRs (not sure if any were merged though...). At the time I was using taskwarrior + bugwarrior's Jira integration for tracking and updating my tasks at work. But I got annoyed
with a bug in bugwarrior <ironic.gif> and ended up switching to org-mode. Well, if you use org-mode than you might as well just use emacs for everything, so I did. I ditched Neovim and went full on emacs with the DoomEmacs.
This wasn't my first time trying out emacs but it was my longest run at it. Ended up using emacs for a little under 9 months. I stopped one day and looked at the monster I had created. It was bloated, slow, crashed on a regular
basis, and had so much duct tape and hacks to smooth over ergonomic issues that I just threw in the towel and retreated to my first live, vim. I gave LunarVim another shot, but by this point they'd more or less created
their own neovim runtime with their lvim thing. I didn't like that and my old config didn't work anymore. Instead of relearning how LunarVim worked or trying out a new pre-configured configuration for Neovim I just decided
to write my own. And here it is -- comfy.nvim!
I want to make comfy.nvim a more or less dead-simple neovim >0.5 configuration that works out of the box with minimal bootstrapping. I hate how so many pre-configured configurations rely on their own configuration file to
parse what you want neovim to do versus what they want it to do. So instead I just am using P U R E Lua to get the job done. I am trying to proiritize speed, comfy.vim took a solid few seconds to load and would choke up
now and then... so I don't want to redo that. I also am trying to avoid non-Lua plugins. Why? I don't know, just seems cool. At this time there is a single plugin that isn't at least using some lua, tpope's repeat.vim.
