Curious if anyone has a gui-based build of neovim yet for the mac, perhaps a stable build of Atom Neovim?

awesome, exactly what I was looking for

edit: Actually, I spoke too soon, having trouble getting this to build. It seems the Homebrew build package has some issues at the moment.


It builds fine for me just now on 10.10. I did have to pop in to zsh instead of fish because of `SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'` though. The font rendering looks a bit off for me but it's blazingly fast.


I was having trouble building the neovim package, but I did not realize that I did not have the latest command-line tools. Updating those fixed the issue.


Neovim.app isn't in Homebrew. Are you referring to its dependencies like scons, msgpack-c, or something else?

What is failing?


Atom Shell UI for Neovim[1] might be for you. Seems pretty stable with a few tweaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgNJnBKMRNw
