It's wonderful to see the Yi editor back in business, there seems to be some new commits in the github repo. Yi has taken a wonderfully pragmatic approach to implementing a text editor. They were working on an incremental parser framework to power the editor. The framework was inspired by Parsec and aimed at parsing incomplete code while typing. Emacs has similar parsers but in Emacs they're implemented with a messy pile of emacs lisp, while the Haskell parser in Yi tries to do it with an easy to read domain specific language. I also like how Yi has a very flexible frontend. They ship with Vim- and Emacs-like configurations to get started.
