That is really interesting, thanks for the pointer. I came across it a while ago when I was researching how to manually set up AstroVIM on NixOS and doing manually was a bit of a stretch for me at the time.
My setup right now is a fairly straightforward nix file listing the plugins and associated packages I want, and then an embedded long-ass lua config file, and I think the nixvim would just make that part of it declarative. I think I'll make a branch on my nixos repo and just have Claude try it. No reason not to.
