Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by members of the Neovim core team to talk about the Neovim 0.12 release, the biggest new features, project direction, AI, workflows, plugins, and why people still use Neovim in a world full of AI editors and modern IDEs. This is not just a Neovim 0.12 feature overview. It’s also a conversation to help people get to know the humans behind the project. We talk about what changed in Neovim 0.12, how the release came together, what maintainers care about, how they personally use Neovim, and where they see Neovim going next. We talk about Neovim 0.12 features, multicursor, the new intro screen, the new build system, UI improvements, Ghostty progress bar support, checkhealth, bug reports, :restart, tmux-related workflows, terminal rendering, Doom in Neovim, LazyVim and Neovim 0.12, AI in Neovim, and more. If you use Neovim, Vim, LazyVim, Ghostty, tmux, or you’re just curious why people still care so much about terminal-based editors, this episode should be for you. -------------------------- Guests in this episode: Justin Keyes, Neovim lead maintainer GitHub: https://github.com/justinmk Maria Solano, Neovim core maintainer GitHub: https://github.com/MariaSolOs Gregory Anders, Neovim core maintainer GitHub: https://github.com/gpanders bfredl, Neovim core maintainer GitHub: https://github.com/bfredl -------------------------- Video: https://youtu.be/EiBg91LTOYk What's the best way to support me? https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enough Timeline: 00:00:00 - Highlights 00:00:59 - What is Neovim? 00:06:45 - Why people still use Neovim with so many other options? 00:14:31 - How much AI are you integrating into Neovim? 00:17:21 - How is the money (donations) side of things going for Neovim? 00:19:44 - Wh…
