Lazy.nvim is a plugin manager create by folke. He creates many Neovim plugins including the popular colorscheme tokyonight. Lazy.nvim is very new (as of December 22, 2022), but the speeds and features are quite amazing. (Sidenote: If you consider using this, I would just back up any dotfiles so it is easy to revert back to if something breaks).

Furthermore, I will be comparing lazy.nvim to packer.nvim as it was the one I use previously and the one I feel like most people use.
