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!

• Cleaned up source tree, leaving only core files
• Removed support for legacy systems and moved to C99
  • Removed tons of FEAT_* macros with unifdef
  • Reduced C code from 300k lines to 170k
• Enabled modern compiler features and optimizations
• Formatted entire source with uncrustify
• Replaced autotools build system with CMake
• Implemented continuous integration and test coverage
• Wrote 60+ new unit tests
• Split large, monolithic files (misc1.c) into logical units (path.c, indent.c, garray.c, keymap.c, ...)

• Porting all IO to libuv
• Lots of refactoring
• A VimL => Lua transpiler
• Formatting with clint.py

There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, and detailed instructions for building on other OSes.
