Phoronix: Vim Already Gets The Vulkan Treatment

With Vim being the beloved text editor by many Phoronix readers, you'll likely be delighted to know that there's already a Vulkan plug-in...

Why can't vim just parse the Vulkan header like every other half-decent editor?? Do people really have to do this by hand in 2016?

vim can do that of course, with help of YCM or clang_complete.

vim is a very light weight editor, adding a parser so obtain the information needed for the syntax highlighting would probably be overload, considering that it needs to be done just once.

Do people really have to do this by hand in 2016?

My guess is that the infomation was extracted by using some semi-automatic approach, i.e. parsing the headers by using some external tool and then checking and correcting the result.

And there goes the biggest blocker for Vulkan adoption: vim support.

When I read the headline, I assumed someone had created some sort of vulkan-accelerated rendering for vim. That would have been amusing...

I lolled HARD. An actually amusing clickbait title.

Fuck vim and emacs. Use a real IDE.

Pft, nano is obviously superior to vim and emacs

I thought VIM is now using Vulkan backend for rendering

An article about Vim... hmmm what an exciting and hot clickbait title, far more than "Beyonce nude goes wild"
