notice: status of the project (2nd try)

[boltlessengineer]

Hi, I’m new maintainer for this plugin. 👋
This introduction came earlier than I originally planned, but here is current status of this plugin:

v2 rest.nvim is already pretty good plugin on its own. It is THE plugin that convinced me to move to luarocks plugin management.
But I found many parts may need some rewrite.

• rest.nvim struggles parsing variables inside http file because of tree-sitter-http parser issue. That TS parser needs some rewrite, so I did it (refactor!: Refactor spec tree-sitter-http#36)
• all variables are in same scope. Whenever someone sets a variable, v2 rest.nvim overwrites the variable in vim.env.
• some minor type issues (e.g. require(“rest-nvim”).setup())
• logger notifies by default for some reason
• not following standard behaviors from famous http plugins of intellij/vscode
• etc

So I’ll release v3 with (almost) complete rewrite of the codebase soon. (I will do my best to make smooth transition as possible. Sorry if it breaks though)
Until then, I won’t be able to help new/existing issues.
Please wait for few more days. It is almost done, but not ready to make it public yet.

Thank you.

If possible it would be great to improve startup time. Currently it takes close to 100ms while the rest takes another 100 so there's definitely a room for improvement. Thanks for stepping up as a new maintainer. :)
