Re: How do I install neovim plugins?

[yasu@yasuaki.com]

Hi Julien,

Thank you for the pointer, here is what I did to make it work:

    set runtimepath+=/home/yasu/.guix-profile/share/vim/vimfiles

The plugin and neovim were installed as below:

guix package --install=vim-airline
guix package --install=nvim

But this seems rather "imperative" and is not what I expected to do,
after spending many weeks trying home-manager from NixOS :-)

excerpt from .config/nixpkgs/home.nix
...
   programs.neovim = {
     enable = true;
     plugins = [
       pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-airline
       pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-nix
     ];
...

In the Nix world, I think people were not seeing much point of:

     nix-env -i

which seems to be their equivalent of:

    guix package --install=

As an alternative, 'home-manger' seemed popular.

Would you say the same for Guix as well?
