On: Neovim 0.8 Released

[alwillis]

Vim has had :terminal since version 8.1 [1].

Going somewhat off memory here, but my recollection is that was like 3 or 4 years after neovim's first release.

That’s true.

The whole reason there ever was a vim 8 was neovim and the pressure it applied to implement async plugins and terminal.

Without neovim, we'd still be on vim 7.xxxxx
