It's fascinating to me that this process seems to rhyme with that of the path PHP took, with HHVM being built as a second implementation, proving that PHP could be much faster -- and the main project eventually adopting similar approaches. I wonder if that's always likely to happen when talking about languages as big as these are? Can a new implementation of it ever really compete?

- zelphirkalt 3y agoThere is a significant portion of NeoVim users though.
- beeburrt 3y agoCan you elaborate? Genuinely interested.
