Neovim is a terminal text editor forked from Vim created to refactor and improve the maintainability of Vim's original code and improving the extensibility of Vim by adding support for Lua scripting. Some features of the fork include built-in Language Server Protocol (LSP) support, support for asynchronous I/O by using the C library libuv, a built in terminal emulator and for Lua scripting by using LuaJIT language interpreter, allowing both plugin scripting and running scripts in headless / batch mode. Neovim also cleans up the outdated Vim codebase, making startup faster and allowing for asynchronous code execution. The project is open source and is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, its source code is available on GitHub. Read more on Wikipedia
