nfnl
A Neovim plugin that automatically compiles Fennel to Lua for configuration and plugins with zero runtime overhead.
What is nfnl?
nfnl is a Neovim plugin that enhances the Neovim experience by allowing developers to write configurations and plugins in Fennel, a Lisp dialect that compiles to Lua. It automatically compiles Fennel files to Lua on save, providing a seamless workflow without runtime overhead. The plugin ensures that the resulting Lua is standalone and doesn't require nfnl to run, making it ideal for version-controlled configurations and distributable plugins.
Neovim users and plugin developers who prefer writing configurations and plugins in Fennel for its Lisp syntax and macro capabilities, but need the resulting code to run as plain Lua in Neovim.
Developers choose nfnl because it offers a frictionless way to use Fennel in Neovim with automatic compilation, zero startup overhead, and a robust standard library, all while producing clean, dependency-free Lua output that works natively.
