I just spent a half-hour hacking in the #Neovide (GUI version of #neovim) #Lua config file, and I have figured out abbreviations and custom keymapping, which means I can move my "production" editing from #gVim to Neovide with a clean Lua config file.

Do I need to move away from gVim/#Vim? I'm not sure, but we're in this game to try new things, right?

Is it worth it to move from Vimscript to Lua?
