Introduction

This week Neovim core shared performance improvements from recent PR's. From the community we also have a C# and .NET integration, a plugin for aligning bilingual parallel texts, a plugin to play 2048 from Neovim, a screen keys plugin for Neovim and more.

For the next couple of weeks I will be out on vacation, so don't expect another This Week in Neovim issue for at least the next 2 weeks. Maybe 3 weeks depending on how tired I am when I get back!

Hope you enjoy this weeks issue!
