Future/Status

[justinmk]

From the readme: https://github.com/neovim/lua-client#future-plans

The future of lua-client (this repo) is grim, because the future of Nvim Lua is supple and verdant:

1. Nvim core will gain the ability to run Lua code via nvim -l.
2. We will include some sort of Lua client in Nvim core. Perhaps starting with https://github.com/justinmk/lua-client2
3. Legacy lua-client (this repo) will be archived.

The goal is for Nvim to be able to spawn child nvim processes and then they can be clients of each other using a builtin Lua client which uses Nvim's builtin Lua and msgpack + msgpack-RPC stuff.

neovim/neovim#22077 merged lua-client into the main Nvim repo. But currently only for tests, not available to runtime plugins.
