Something that I've really not seen mentioned, is that they are also (and still!) ignoring the licensing that Microsoft has around VSCode. VSCode is built on open source of course,…

We host the VSCode extension host, which is how Oni2 can use VSCode extensions. I.e, the whole front end and core editor is native code (ReasonML/C), and then there is a nicely typ…

Its written mostly in ReasonML (syntax for OCaml) with a bunch of C-libs wrapped in OCaml (Skia/Harfbuzz/SDL2 etc), so it compiles properly to native in the same way that normal OC…

This isn't technically true, the extension host we use is directly the one from VSCode, such that we can support their extensions (well...a subset as we fill in the gaps in for the…

(Another dev here!) Its a workflow we are looking into supporting, but its difficult. VSCode has extensions that are licenesed in a different way to the rest, which includes all th…

ReScript and ReasonML are separate projects, check out the ReScript FAQs for the relationship between OCaml/Reason/Bucklescript/ReScript. https://forum.rescript-lang.org/t/rescript…

And if its not obvious, the links are for Onivim1, rather than Oni2. There is a somewhat out of date document on the motivation behind starting Oni2 here: https://github.com/onivim…

(Dev on Oni2) We are adding Vim-style tabs as well (i.e. tabs are a view on to buffers, where a buffer can be any split etc as expected). That said, you are right that a lot of peo…
