It says inspired by vim but it isn't vim compatible?
I am pretty much confused. I heard that Rust community likes to remake everything in Rust, so I guess I can put this in that bucket.
Like, we have NeoVim that is pushing the Vim boundaries. This doesn't seem to be trying to do that.
I think, as an effort, it is probably very educational to make editor. As a product, it might not be for actual Vim users. As you know Vim is plenty fast, with NeoVim unblocking operations, we have our problems and challenges solved.
Clearly Rust is fantastic language I and other devs should pay attention to and learn as it inspires people to make things.
- chrisjharris 6y agoI was thinking the same. There is some cool new stuff in this space (ie Kakoune), which probably is actually somewhat more ergonomic to use than vim/neovim. And maybe this is slightly faster than vim, although vim isn't exactly the kind of program where people complain about it being too slow. But to try to upturn the anthill for a 10% improvement in any direction, on an already excellent product, feels like a mistake.
