  • According to this discussion on reddit I would say that you'll still have to write your nvimrc in vimscript. But maybe someone has more info than I have.

    I'd even argue you don't want to write your .nvimrc in Lua. Ultimately, I think the plan is to use Vimscript for configuration and Lua for plugins, scripting, etc.

As of of June 2015, the lua to VimsSript transpiler integration is still being worked on, so currently you cannot use Lua to write .nvimrc, unfortunately.

See this issue: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1536

  • I believe what NeoVim wants to achieve is a VimScript to Lua transpiler, so they can use the LuaJIT runtime. So I'm wondering if the Lua engine is already integrated anywhere...
