Echasnovski is the creator of mini.nvim, as per the website:
"Library of 40+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.9 and higher) experience with minimal effort. They all share same configuration approaches and general design principles.
Think about this project as “Swiss Army knife” among Neovim plugins: it has many different independent tools (modules) suitable for most common tasks. Each module can be used separately without any startup and usage overhead."

He's also the creator of MiniMax:
"MiniMax is a collection of fully working self-contained Neovim configs. All of the them:
Use mostly MINI to showcase its capabilities.
Provide out of the box a stable, polished, and feature rich Neovim experience.
Share minimal structure with potential to build upon.
Contain extensively commented config files meant to be read.
It can be automatically set up, which uses the best suited config from available ones."

In this clip we talk about a discussion I had with Gregory Anders, he mentions that you should avoid using the .setup call as much as possible, but Echasnovski seems to disagree, let's see why.

This clip is part of a full interview, which is around 4 hours long, it will be split in 2 parts and will be released soon, so stay tuned.
