## 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](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction)!

|
## 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?
