What does Neovim have that regular Vim doesn't?

@vaporeon_

  • built in suppurrt fur lua scripting, including fur plugins (vimscript plugins almost always also work)
  • AST-based parsing engine available to plugins, making syntax highlighting theoretically easier to do correctly
  • built in LSP client

some funkier shit in there includes MessagePack suppurrt (allowing extensions (of what kind?) in “any language”), a full blown client-server architecture kinda like tmux or dtach, and am embeddable architecture

@vaporeon_ anyway this is a long list of features but as i understand it it’s in purractice not necessarily that much more powerful than vim already was, but arguably much easier to set up if you want an IDE-like features
