I just want to add my 2 cents to the discussion. Officially Neovim supports
only
Lua 5.1 as its extension language according to the manual (`:h lua-intro`):

Using LuaJIT allows the use of some extensions to Lua 5.1, but plugins relying

Hello everyone,
I am trying to get more serious about Guix, and I have a few questions about
how to develop Guix and the associated Git workflow. The manual in chapter 14.1
(Building from Git) explains most things pretty well.
My first question is regarding `guix git authenticate`. The first ti

Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up Guix for proper local development, but it fails during
the configuration step because the script cannot find the guild binary. Here is
what I did:
- Check out the Guix repo
- Switch to a local branch
- run `guix environment guix` in order to set up all depe
Hello everyone,
I would like to contribute a new package: the command line testing framework
Roundup[1]. I think I have it all figured out so far for the most part, but I
don't know what module to add it to. Roundup allows writing tests for command-
line applications, usually shell scripts, but

Two points: the package in Guix is lagging behind in release, and I don't know
enough yet about Guix to submit patches on a whim. So I made a channel to first
try thing out for myself before submitting them to Guix. If I mess something

Hello Guix developers,
I have set up an unofficial Guix channel for Neovim (and possibly for related
projects in the future):
https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/neovim-guix-channel/
The plan is to use this channel first, and then submit patches to Guix when
everything is deemed correct and reliable
I think you are focusing too much on the "pledge" part. Submitting a patch is
an informal process and I doubt anyone is going to hold it up against you in a
court. This is just an instance of using fancy words to sound important.
People's real grievances with the CC are that it polices people o
I think "agree" in this context means to agree to follow the rules of that
setting, not necessarily that you endorse those rules in general. For example,
if you are a smoker in a non-smoking area you agree not to smoke while in that
area, but you do not agree not to smoke at all. Or if you are i

Oh sure, I would have no issue working with people I disagree with, but the
