Lua version

[riotrah]

Hi!

I've found a couple of your various threads and posts about parsing the docsite and generating EEL snippets from it. I think this is so great.

Even if you're too busy/don't use lua reascript, would you be able to help guide what steps it might take to reimplement this for lua? Never written a nvim plugin, tho it might not hurt to use this as an excuse to try out Fennel.

Also, I don't use a posix machine for reaper (tho I could of course spin up WSL), so I think a next step would be to reimplement the docsite parser via something like python or even pwsh - in that case, if I ever get around to doing that, would you be interested in a backport?

Hey! Cool to have you here!

So in terms of adding lua support, I didn't do it here because lua has indentation/syntax highlighting support from so many other sources that people (including myself) already have on like vim-polyglot. ReaScript Lua seems to just basically be Lua with REAPER functions.

That being said, there obviously would be a ton of benefit in having the snippets. So I might actually get around to getting them up and running. My eventual plan for snippets was to have them not be part of the repo and instead a function to run in Vim (like PlugUpdate) so that you wouldn't HAVE to download them if you didn't want snippets.

I think I will make a separate repo that is just an implementation of the snippet generator for all the ReaScript languages. That way you can just have this plugin for EEL language support (indent and syntax) and the other for getting any snippets with some sort of function like :ReaScriptSnippetsUpdate or something.

I'll get back to you with it, might implement it this evening even!

Alright @riotrah I have made it!

This project is currently still in its infancy, but give it a little test drive and let me know what you think!
