libevent vs libuv

Comparing libevent and libuv. My upfront biased: I want to like libevent. However, I want to objectively compare the two and make an informed decision.

What versions are we comparing?

• libevent 2.0.22 (Stable) [2014-01-05]
• libuv 1.8.0 (Stable) [2015-12-15]

Vim: pushing built-in features beyond their limits

The situation

Searching can be an efficient way to navigate the current buffer.

The first search commands we learn are usually / and ?. These are seriously cool, especially with the incsearch option enabled which lets us keep typing to refine our search pattern. / and ? really shine when all we want is to jump to something we already have our eyeballs on but they are not fit for every situation:

• when we want to search something that's not directly there, those two commands can make us lose context very quickly,
• when we need to compare the matches.
