neovim (bountysource fundraiser)

What's this?

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

Simplify maintenance
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

For lots more details, see the wiki!

What's been done so far

Source tree was cleaned up, leaving only files necessary for compilation/testing of the core
Source files were processed with unifdef to remove tons of FEAT_* macros
Files were processed with uncrustify to normalize source code formatting
The autotools build system was replaced by CMake

What's being worked on now

Porting all IO to libuv
Lots of refactoring
A VimL -> Lua transpiler

How do I get it?

There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, and detailed instructions for building on other OSes.
