Question about luarocks.loader and loading time

[craigmac]

I have this line in my nvim --startuptime test file:

076.191  031.372  030.037: require('luarocks.loader')

While I find the startuptime format very difficult to understand, chatgpt tells me that this call is taking roughly 31ms, is this correct? Any way to reduce the time this call is taking?

Hey 👋

For interpreting the output of --startuptime, see :h profd.
Your output is measuring roughly 30 ms, but keep in mind that profiling itself adds overhead, so the actual time spent is likely less.

You can disable the luarocks loader with the enable_luarocks_loader option, see :h rocks.config.

Neat, thanks! Second question, if I may, I set vim.loader.enable() in my init.lua, is that at odds/overlap what the luarocks loader is doing?

[mrcjkb]

no :)
