I decided to make that list anyway.

FGA: The gen on the family of 'vi' clones

Show threadJdeBP4d ago

@jpmens

In the spirit of there always being 1 more #vi clone than one thinks, notice that @lpar 's list is lacking Ali Gholami Rudi's #neatvi which is packaged in #pkgsrc and about a decade old now.

And even then the rule still applies. There's 1 more clone: Sterling Huxley's and Brent Roman's #viless, a quarter of a century old and what #BusyBox supplies.

Kernel upgraded to Linux 6.19.6 on Slackware.
System stable so far... Rachael Tyrell from Blade Runner keeping an eye on things.

Just measured memory usage of nvi vs neatvi opening a ~500KB file (/usr/include/*.h concatenated):

nvi 5184 KB
neatvi 1960 KB
2.6x less RSS neatvi wins without syntax highlighting even in the picture. The difference is likely nvi's Berkeley DB recovery layer allocating upfront regardless of use.
