Research direction
Start by reviewing how Vim and Neovim configurations are generated and whether the existing Neovim path can emit init.lua. The issue names no repository files or tests; compare the requested Lua configuration with its packer and impatient.nvim references. Done is not defined beyond a faster Neovim configuration, so scope and validation need clarification.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
We all know how hard it would be to create a separate neovim exclusive config, but the speed it brings is huge.
Neovim now has native Language Server support, treesiter for better syntax.
There is a thread on Reddit on how much faster/or better using init.lua could be:

Personally, I am using a plugin that caches lua plugins, which already are faster than pure vim:
use {'lewis6991/impatient.nvim', rocks = 'mpack'} -- faster startup
The plugin manager is packer (written in lua)
Even it took a long time to implement, this solution would be great
