The State of Neovim

According to the Neovim Github project page at https://github.com/neovim/neovim…

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

• Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
• Split the work between multiple developers
• Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
• Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture

It all sounds promising, but is it really going to happen? And is it even a good idea?

Kyle Pointer’s going to bring us up to speed on all things NeoVim, including:

• Why?
• What’s new?
• Who’s doing it?
• What works?
• What doesn’t?
• How can I help?

It promises to be interesting (and maybe even a little controversial).
