## 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][]
[unifdef]: http://freecode.com/projects/unifdef
[uncrustify]: http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/
[CMake]: http://cmake.org/
## 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.
See [the wiki](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing)!
