runtime(doc): Update intro.txt about Neovim

brianhuster · zeertzjq · chrisbra · commit bab761960408 · 2026-03-08T21:03:12.000Z
Just to fix some phrases: - "A Vim clone". Neovim document says that it is not a clone, but just a fork https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim/#nvim - "Supports a remote GUI". Neovim supports any UI (both GUI and TUI) that implements its UI protocol, so "a" is not correct - "Integration with scripting languages". This is true, but it is also true to Vim (which supports 8 scripting languages AFAIK), so this probably doesn't need to be said in this document. Instead, what makes Neovim unique in this "scripting languages" aspect is its first class support for Lua. closes: #19605 Co-authored-by: zeertzjq <zeertzjq@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Phạm Bình An <phambinhanctb2004@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
