I redid my config [0] using Tangerine recently and am very happy with it. Lisps are such a great thing just from a syntax and readability perspective alone. Can't understand all that startup time craze though, my Neovim has always been opening without any perceptible lag without me doing anything to optimize it. Maybe it's just me…

What is Tangerine?
It's in the article the thread starts with.

It gets slow when you have 100 plugins, which you don't seem to have.
I sometimes think the ~40 I do have to be a bit excessive :D
I love Aniseed, but I sometimes wish that it was a general-purpose library/framework and not tied to Neovim specifically. It would be nice if I could run Hotpot instead, and pull in Aniseed like a regular Lua package. I think that other Lua programmers would appreciate its "module" system.
