moonlight.nvim is a modern, full-featured Neovim IDE built on top of 💤 lazy.nvim, focused on performance, clean UI/UX, and developer productivity.

It comes with a powerful set of plugins, smart defaults, and an optimized configuration, allowing you to start coding immediately without sacrificing flexibility.

Rather than choosing between a minimal setup or a heavy distro, moonlight.nvim strikes the perfect balance — fast, extensible, and ready out of the box.
