Ask HN: What is to Emacs as Neovim is to vim?

• VLM 12y ago
  You mean, vaporware, or some other interpretation?
  • cweagans 12y ago
    You have a funny definition of vaporware. There's active work happening in public in the neovim repository, and a summary of the work to date here: http://neovim.org/news/2014/june/ http://neovim.org/news/2014/june/

  There are several attempts -- some more, some less successful -- to refactor, improve, and extend Emacs as a platform and editor. (One of the more interesting ones, in my opinion, is GuileEmacs, which is an attempt to use Guile Scheme as a replacement for Emacs Lisp.) Here is a good list of things you might be looking for: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsImplementations http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsImplementations

  XEmacs perhaps? I remember it being purported as "The Next Generation of Emacs" years ago.
