Yes from a design philosophy standpoint vis is closer to kakoune than {neo,}vim. The implementation is quite different though (no C++, no boost, no home grown scripting/extension/syntax highlighting language).
- cm3 10y agoI don't use either, but to be fair, I wouldn't call vis's requirements lighter than kakoune. Vis needs Lua and libtermkey (which according to its author is EOL'ed) at build and run time.
- martanne 10y agoKakoune is a fine editor. Regarding vis, Lua is optional (you lose syntax highlighting though). libtermkey is a 3 file library and despite what the author claims it works, is useful and could be maintained in the vis repository if necessary. If you think anything C++ related is lighter than something C based, then we just have to agree to disagree.
- ufo 10y agoDunno about libtermkey but I wouldn't worry too much about the Lua dependency. Lua is very portable and lightweight and the entire Lua interpreter and standard library are just a couple hundred kbs. You always have the option of linking them statically if you really need to.
