Prerequisites

Install the latest Neovim.
Install the Conjure plugin.
Install the nvim-treesitter plugin.
Run :TSInstall lua to install parser for Lua.
(Optional) Install the nvim-treesitter-textobjects plugin. With this plugin, you can use shortcut keys to select, e.g. a function, and the send it to Conjure for evaluation.

Configuration

You just need to configure Conjure to enable tree-sitter support:

vim.g['conjure#extract#tree_sitter#enabled'] = true

After that, update your config, open a Lua buffer and you’re good to go.

Constraint

By default we’re using debug tools to help locals persistent across evaluation. If you don’t want this behavior, you can set g:conjure#client#lua#neovim#persistent to none.
Right now the code evaluation is blocking. Later there might be other clients implemented as a standalone REPL that provide non-blocking evaluation.
