- fancy UI to manage all your Neovim plugins
- auto lazy-loading of lua modules
- lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes and key mappings
- Partial clones instead of shallow clones
- waits till missing deps are installed (bootstrap Neovim and start using it right away)
- Async
- No need to manually compile
- Fast. Automatically caches and compiles byte code of all lua modules needed during startup
- Correct sequencing of dependencies (deps should always be opt. Maybe make everything opt?)
- Config in multiple files
- dev option and patterns for local packages
- Profiling
- lockfile `lazy-lock.json`
- upvalues in `config` & `init`
- check for updates
- commit, branch, tag, version support
- semver https://devhints.io/semver
- auto-loading on completion for lazy-loaded commands
- bootstrap code
- Background update checker
- statusline component to see number of pending updates
- health checks: check merge conflicts async
    - unsupported props or props from other managers
    - other packages still in site?
    - other package manager artifacts still present? compiled etc
- status page showing running handlers and cache stats
- temp colorscheme used during startup when installing missing plugins
- automatically reloads when config changes are detected
- handlers imply opt
- dependencies imply opt for deps
- show spec errors in health
- fix plugin details
- show disabled plugins (strikethrough?)
- log file
- git tests
- Import specs from other plugin managers
- packspec <https://github.com/nvim-lua/nvim-package-specification>
    - add support to specify `engines`, `os` and `cpu` like in `package.json`
    - semver merging. Should check if two or more semver ranges are compatible and calculate the union range
        - default semver merging strategy: if no version matches all, then use highest version?
    - package meta index (package.lua cache for all packages)


DIFFERENCES WITH PACKER                    *lazy.nvim-differences-with-packer*


- **Plugin Spec**:
    - `setup` => `init`
    - `requires` => `dependencies`
    - `as` => `name`
    - `opt` => `lazy`
    - `run` => `build`
    - `lock` => `pin`
    - `module` is auto-loaded. No need to specify
