Reminder: neovim *started* as an async patch to vim, Bram rejected it as out of scope years ago. Now it's much more.
PSA: async is in vim 8 but Bram made our lives worse by picking a neovim-incompatible api with no technical reason.https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/_SbMTGshzVc/discussion …

Now maintainers of vim plugins are faced with a choice: Drop neovim support or maintain two different APIs: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/720262286095441921 … :( :( :(

If it's worth anything, neovim maintainers have been nothing but cordial and polite while Bram has been dismissive and borderline offensive.

This is meritocracy in open source for you: https://twitter.com/shazow/status/720326005173329920 … Politics spread like a virus, we must become more aware of it.

@shazow not sure how this is meritocracy's fault here, though. -
@gmelika The point is that there is no meritocracy. It comes down to politics, not technical reasons. -
@shazow sorry, I misunderstood. not v familiar with neovim vs vim, but this does look like an intentionally adversarial move -
@gmelika Yea. :/ It's a long set of threads but there is a lot of subtle/overt passive/active aggression throughout the responses. - 1 more reply
