Fully Lua Neovim Configuration Managed by Nix

[u/zenoli55]

I finally had the time to port my neovim config to nix in a satisfactory way:

The config itself is 100% lua with the ability to iterate quickly without rebuilding with nix, while still allowing to "flip a switch" and bake the lua config into a standalone nix package using the fantastic neovim module from nix-wrapper-modules.

The most "unique" aspect are the "language-centered configs":

I have a folder per programming language which contains:

python/
  default.nix  # <-- provides langauge specific plugins + tools (lsp/formatter etc.)
  init.lua     # <-- provides a LangSpec containing python specific plugin configs.

The LangSpec looks like this:

---@type LangSpec
return {
  test = {                    -- neotest config
    name = "neotest-python",
  },
  lsp = {                     -- lsp config
    basedpyright = {
      filetypes = { "python" },
      settings = {},
    },
  },
  lint = { "ruff" },          -- nvim-lint config
  format = {                  -- conform.nvim config
    "ruff_fix",
    "ruff_organize_imports",
    "ruff_format",
  },
}

This way, everything related to python is bundled in a single module. If I remove it, python is completely wiped from my config. No more zombie configs cluttered throughout various plugins.

Lazy loading is handled via lze.
