>neovim is what happens when the javascript kids decide to "improve" one of the best editors ever created

I don't think that's accurate. Now, if OTOH you said "the Lua kids" then I'd probably agree.

There are no Lua kids, i.e newbie programmers that start their career from Lua. The neovim Lua kids were JS kids all along, and brought their philosophy of churn over.

I find this to be an interesting theory, but where is the evidence for it?

Follow up: it would be interesting to see the raw numbers of how many JS Kids have transferred over to Lua development.
