I don't keep myself much up to date on these things, but wasn't this one of the main new features in NeoVim? (then code cleanup, then more language to script in)

Yes it was. And now Vim is getting those features as well.

Are they merging code from neovim, or is it a parallel implementation?

I think the former---from what I've heard neovim and vim are on very good relations, and here is the fruit of that.

Negative. NeoVim does away with supporting the ancient systems that are important to Bram for some reason. I seriously doubt they will merge.

Good relations =/=> must plan to unfork, at least in a post-git world.

Parallel. Bram (Vim maintainer) doesn't seem to like Thiago (Neovim lead dev).

Well except for the code cleanup and the more extensive scripting options ;)

I've been a happy neovim user for a few months now, but I'm still glad to see that vim is keeping itself up to date.
