What is nvim-luapad?
Luapad is an interactive scratchpad plugin for Neovim that provides real-time evaluation of Lua code. It allows developers to write and test Lua snippets directly within Neovim, with output displayed as virtual text in the buffer as they type. It solves the problem of needing to save and reload files to test Lua code, making experimentation and debugging faster and more fluid.
Neovim users who write Lua plugins, configurations, or scripts and want an interactive environment for testing and prototyping code. It's particularly useful for plugin developers and those learning Lua within the Neovim ecosystem.
Developers choose Luapad for its seamless real-time feedback, deep integration with Neovim's Lua engine, and lightweight design focused on interactive coding. Unlike traditional methods, it eliminates the need for file saves and manual execution, providing immediate visual output right in the editor.
