    Nvim-rs is a rust library for writing rpc clients for neovim, utilizing the async/await language feature. It allows to write guis that embed neovim (like neovide and gnvim), external clients (like nvim-send), or more standard plugins (like this port of the iconic scorched earth).

    2) Not sure, did you see the examples and the docs on them (note there's a submodule with documentation for some of them)? Can you be a bit more specific on what's missing? It is true however that I left integrating the plugin into neovim to a reference to the original scorched earth. I think you're right that I should integrate that into the examples documentation, thanks for pointing that out!

    This is really cool. I am in the early stages of trying to do something similar. I've been building atop https://github.com/KillTheMule/nvim-rs where neovim sends rpc calls to a rust async runtime. Is that similar to how things were done in your previous iteration?

  • Any veterans ever *leave* Vim?

    Am using this one and it's okay. I don't notice it's there, which is what I expect of UI. My Vim looks exactly like terminal one, I just prefer running it as a dedicated program and few other benefits, like changing cursors and true colors without fuss. My config is so universal I can switch between the two. I actually have Vim installed as well.
