  It’s been too long, I no longer recall specifics. Wikipedia links to the patch’s discussion on Google Groups, if you care to read it. https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/65jjGqS1_VQ/m/fFiFrrIBwNAJ https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/65jjGqS1_VQ/m/fFiFrrIB... Vim 8 did add support for asynchronous jobs, due to the pressure of Neovim fork. https://lwn.net/Articles/713114/ https://lwn.net/Articles/713114/
