   Onivim might not be for you :) But our project under the hood, libvim [1], might be useful for you to start (if it's easy to create bindings from C in Go). There's a cool non-Onivim usage of it called Paravim [2] (and the same aut

   Thanks ComputerGuru! :) Certainly, Revery is just putting together the building blocks the ReasonML and OCaml communities have developed. Inspired by ReactJS and Elm. Revery supports the same FFI as OCaml [1] - C-style linking. I believe Ru

   I'd highly recommend Jordan Walke's (creator of React) talk on the ideas behind ReasonML: React to the Future [1]. I think it's so cool that you can take the ideas of ReactJS - functional programming applied to UI - but then

   Thanks for checking out the project! This is one of the biggest pieces feedback we've received both the tabs / splits in particular [1], and the more general issue of broader Vim compatibility [2]. We actually use a forked Vim imp

   Right, we figured if it can save you just a few hours of configuration, it's paid for itself.

   We built a new UI framework to support development called Revery: https://github.com/revery-ui/revery It's inspired by ReactJS, and has a similar API, but actually compiles to native code (not javascript). So you

   For sure... drafting EULAs, working with lawyers, setting up a sales pipeline is not the fun stuff. Would much rather work on bug fixes and features! Just a necessary evil to be able to fund development. In an ideal world - could just write

    It's actually a bit different - VSCode has a 'front-end' process and a 'back-end' process (the extension host). The extension host is larger than just handling language services - it handles additional functionality

    We decided to try a new approach to see how it works for funding - funding open source projects is _hard_! We wanted a model where, unlike completely proprietary licenses, the source code could be available - and, worst case, if something h

    Hi, I didn't expect to see this on HN! Thank you for posting it. I'm the creator Onivim 2. Still early days - and a lot of work - to realize our vision for this project :) But I'll be around to answer questions.

    Thanks soperj for the kind words! Hope we can get that soon; that's a feature that would be useful for my workflow as well!

    Thanks xconverge, it's great to hear from you and appreciate the kind words! I'm a big fan of the work you're doing as well - really impressed with the VSCodeVim plugin.

    If you're comparing Oni to Atom, the architecture is actually quite different. Oni uses Neovim at the core to manage buffers & buffer manipulation (in other words, a native layer vs JavaScript in Atom) - this is a major benefit whe

    Would be interesting to see if we could compile Neovim via WebAssembly... If that's the case, it would certainly be feasible to run Oni in the browser with a few (minor) tweaks. The UI layer is react-based and would be trivial to run i

    Thanks for your support, Justin! Oni wouldn't be here without the awesome work you've done:) Neovim has been a joy to build on - fast, performant, and stable. Great example of a high-quality OSS project!

    Author here - that's a great question on VSCode. I actually tried really hard to get my 'Vim workflow' to work with VSCode - even creating a plugin for relative numbering. I'm a big fan of the work that the VSCodeVim &#x
