rneovim.git/runtime/lua/vim/provider.lua, branch rahm Neovim fork with Rahm's personal hacks. refactor: create function for deferred loading 2024-02-03T15:53:41+00:00 dundargoc gocdundar@gmail.com 2024-01-22T17:23:28+00:00 2e982f1aad9f1a03562b7a451d642f76b04c37cb The benefit of this is that users only pay for what they use. If e.g. only `vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()` is called then they don't need to load all modules under `vim.lsp` which could lead to significant startuptime saving. Also `vim.lsp.module` is a bit nicer to user compared to `require("vim.lsp.module")`. This isn't used for some nested modules such as `filetype` as it breaks tests with error messages such as "attempt to index field 'detect'". It's not entirely certain the reason for this, but it is likely it is due to filetype being precompiled which would imply deferred loading isn't needed for performance reasons.
