Any hope of using Lu Wang's vim.js?

Lu's js clone (https://github.com/coolwanglu/vim.js) seems to be a more user-friendly and intuitive experience compared with codemirror. Lu's clone also handles a faster key-repeat/low latency responsiveness.

Also, the js dialog for command entry that's currently in the plugin is pretty suboptimal (not sure if this is a standard notes or a codemirror limitation, though.)

Anyway, just figured I'd throw this out there to see if there's any traction. Thanks!

Hmm, indeed, looks very nice. But looks like it's been abandoned? Also not clear from a quick glance whether it's fully client-side, or whether it requires some server component..

Yeah, doesn't look actively developed, but it's basically a cherry-picked version of the original vim c code compiled down to JS using emscripten (https://emscripten.org) <-- which is pretty frickin awesome, actually.

Very interesting, will have to dig into that!
