NeoVim is a fork of Vim that strives to improve the extensibility＆maintainability of Vim. Key features of the fork include built-in Language Server Protocol ⟦LSP⟧ support, support for asynchronous I／O, and support for Lua scripting using the luaJIT language interpreter. The project is “FOSS” free software with its open-source code available on GitHub.

  • “Neovim” has the same configuration syntax as Vim (unless vim9script is used); ergo, the same configuration file can be used with both editors, although there’re minor details that can differ between those options; however, if the added features of Neovim are not used, Neovim is compatible with almost all of Vim’s core features.
  • The “Neovim” project was started in 2014, after a patch to Vim supporting multi-threading was rejected. Neovim had a successful fundraising campaign in March 2014, supporting at least one full-time developer, and has several frontends are under active development…
  • As of the 0.5 release of Neovim on July 2, 2021, it gained built-in support for the LSP, Tree-sitter, and more complete Lua support, including support for configuration scripts written in Lua instead of VimL.

🐧UNIX is a multiuser, multitasking operating system designed for flexibility＆adaptability. It was first developed in the 1970ₛ by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, et al. (in the AT&T Laboratories). However, “Unix” has long since more commonly come to refer to the “family” of related operating‑systems that all derive from the original AT&T Unix. Considering its roots as a command‑line‑interface, “Unix” was originally designed＆intended for skilled programmers developing software rather than casual or non‑technical users. Nonetheless, because Unix and the C programming language were both so widely distributed to governmental＆academic institutions, which ultimately led to both being ported onto a wider variety of machine families than any other operating‑system, it’s become one of the “interfaces” most ubiquitously available across an extremely broad variety of computers to at least some degree, or in a sometimes surprising amount of aspects… Technically, Unix is a stable, multi‑user, multi‑tasking system suitable for servers, desktops, or laptops. Its main features include simplicity, portability, versatility, multitasking＆multiuser capabilities, an extensive library of (mostly free!) software, and a hierarchical file system.
