Implement vim mode #7

Open jasone opened 5 years ago

jasone commented 5 years ago

Hemlock syntax is substantially similar to that of OCaml, but there are differences worth highlighting, e.g.:

Hemlock's keywords don't perfectly overlap.
Hemlock has different builtin types (codepoint instead of char, usize, additional integer types).
Hemlock omits objects and polymorphic variants.
Hemlock has mutation sigils (!, $, and ?).

I already have a kakoune mode for Hemlock, and although it's very basic, I'm finding it adequate for use during bootstrapping. We will codevelop a language server (see #48) during compiler implementation, which subsumes the less ambitious notion of a vim mode.

I need highlighting from Vim now. It looks like it'll be a fairly mechanical transformation of the Kakoune highlighter spec.

FYI I have some incremental fixes/improvements in my working tree right now.
