lazy.nvim is a modern plugin manager for Neovim written in Lua. It provides fast startup via lazy-loading and bytecode compilation, a powerful management UI, lockfiles, and automatic plugin installation and updates.

Use cases

  • manage neovim plugins
  • speed up neovim startup time
  • lazy-load plugins on events and keymaps
  • pin plugin versions with a lockfile
  • install plugins automatically on first launch
  • profile neovim plugin performance

When to choose

  • you use Neovim >= 0.8.0 and want a fast, actively maintained plugin manager
  • you need lazy-loading, semver version pinning, and dependency sequencing
  • you want a UI and profiling tools for managing your plugin setup

When to avoid

  • you use Vim rather than Neovim
  • you need a plugin manager for editors other than Neovim
  • you prefer minimal Lua-free vimscript-only setups
