Introducing Revery! Native apps builder with #reason and #ocaml with almost no overhead! https://github.com/revery-ui/revery

​​Onivim 2 is a reimagination of the Oni editor. Onivim 2 aims to bring the speed of Sublime, the language integration of #vscode, and the modal editing experience of #vim together, in a single package. Written in #reason

Onivim 2 is built in reason using the revery framework.

Onivim 2 uses libvim to manage buffers and provide authentic modal editing, and features a fast, native front-end. In addition, Onivim 2 leverages the VSCode Extension Host process in its entirety - meaning, eventually, complete support for VSCode extensions and configuration.

Goals:
- Modern UX - an experience on par with modern code editors like VSCode and Atom
- VSCode Plugin Support - use all of the features of VSCode plugins, including language servers and debuggers
- Cross-Platform - works on Windows, OSX, and Linux
- Batteries Included - works out of the box
- Performance - no compromises: native performance, minimal input latency
- Easy to Learn - Onivim 2 should be comfortable for non-vimmers, too!

The goal of this project is to build an editor that doesn't exist today - the speed of a native code editor like Sublime, the power of modal editing, and the rich tooling that comes with a lightweight editor like VSCode.
