The VIM editor reinvented in Rust+TypeScript.

RSVIM is an open source terminal based text editor, built from scratch with Rust, Tokio and V8 javascript engine. It strives to be highly extensible by following the main features, concepts, philosophy of (NEO)VIM, while also to be:

• A fast editor that fully utilizes all CPU cores and never freezes.
• A powerful TUI engine that provides widgets, event handlers, layouts, etc.
• A consistent JavaScript-based runtime with built-in support for TypeScript.
• An editing service that allows multiple users to access remotely and work together.
• A text processing tool that integrates with the shell environment.

Please download pre-built executables in releases page, or build with cargo:

cargo install --locked rsvim

To get latest updates, build with git source on main branch:

cargo install --locked rsvim --git https://github.com/rsvim/rsvim.git --branch main

Please checkout Documentation for more details!

Contributions to RSVIM are always welcomed. A few guidelines that help quickly set up the development environment can be found in DEVELOPMENT.md.

Roadmap and high-level design can be found in RFC, please submit your ideas and designs there if they need fairly large efforts.

Source code and technical solutions were studied from following projects for implementing the initial prototype of javascript runtime and the Minimum Common Web Platform API:

• dune: A hobby runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript 🚀.
• deno: A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.
