That's right, you can update when there's user interaction. Great. Can you use that for remote pair programming? Nope. You'd only be able to see any updates if you yourself was typing. While every other editor can do that just fine.

When Vim is inactive, I can attach a function in a CursorHold autocmd event which would consists of loop that reads from the resource object and sleeps for a small interval after that. As the external program/socket connection is running in separate process, reading from it is not resource sensitive so it should not block Vim entirely. BTW there is a plugin called CoVim https://github.com/FredKSchott/CoVim https://github.com/FredKSchott/CoVim that implements pair-programming feature using default built-in Python binding.
