Re: How do I install neovim plugins?

[yasu]

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?
