How about an embedded Lisp interpreter?

Re: Design of a Vim-like text editor
#12I've been using Vim for over a decade. I love it. But I feel more and more anachronistic every time I have to hunt down some Vim plug-in for whatever IDE I'm setting up. I'd love to see a fresh take on hyper-efficient text editing in modern GUI environments.
Well, with Neovim, we'll have a legit fully-featured plugin for any and all IDEs that do plugins. I sincerely can't wait to have Neovim in IntelliJ/RubyMine/CursiveClojure.
IF the project survives.

#13How about an embedded Lisp interpreter?
Sort of a lisp 1.5 with scheme style syntax. They could opt in within the rc file to allow users not interested to ignore it. Would be closer to the original vi then.

It will, definitely. I mean, given the amount of work that has been put in and the amount of people that are waiting for the first release, it would be a huge mistake to discontinue it. To make vim a "modern" editor, there are a LOT of things that need to change, and neovim has got most, if not all, right.

At one point, REPL first editors (ipython notebooks, etc) will meet edition based IDE (them) in an essential cosmic spark and nothing will ever be the same ever again.

It may be still too early to tell but it seems there is enough interest to keep it alive. It's been almost a year since the project started and it has over 120 contributors, over 2500 commits and doesn't seem very top loaded on the project owner (who is responsible for only 18% of the commits).

#17Why not write a rich-text editor instead? Or a webbrowser? Seriously. They seem like more interesting endeavours to me. Especially if you document every step of the way. In fact, you could write a book about it.
http://surf.suckless.org/ is already a thing.
Never noticed the logo, elegantly regular and cryptic.

Well, there is a vim mode for emacs.

Isn't that LightTable? I think they discovered actually everything would remain largely the same.

#20Most of the "main goals" are supported by ... Eclipse!
