Specialized array types(BufferArray, WindowArray, etc) were added to the API for two main reasons: - msgpack used to lack a way of serializing appliaction-specific types and there was no obvious way of making an API function accept/return arrays of custom objects such as buffers(which are represented as integers, so clients didn't have a way to distinguish from normal numbers) - Let clients in statically-typed languages that support generics have a better typed API With msgpack 2.0 EXT type the first item is no longer a factor and this commit starts by removing the specialized array types. The second item will be addressed in the future by making the API metadata return extra useful information for statically-typed languages.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture
For lots more details, see the wiki!
What's been done so far
- Job control (work with processes asynchronously)
- msgpack remote API
- Performance, reliability, and portability improvements
- See the progress page for a comprehensive list.
What's being worked on now
- Port all IO to libuv
- Lots of refactoring
- A VimL => Lua transpiler
How do I get it?
There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, RPM, deb, and more. See the wiki!
