I'm looking for variants of Vi implemented in Javascript.
Unfortunately, I've been getting all types of results of configuring Vim for writing JavaScript code.
The only helpful result I've found is JSVI.
Question: are there any other (perhaps more modern) impelmentations I should look into?
Vim is doing pretty well with syntax JavaScript highlighting out of the box. But it's not ideal. Many of the old syntax plugins for JavaScript have troubles with some modern features like arrow functions or async/await. Here are some plugins that will help to fix it.
A Vim syntax highlighting plugin for JavaScript and Flow.js.
You should have a look to Vim.js a full Vim written in Javascript, works in your browser
Have fun !

If you want something faster there is a VI implementation made by some MIT student here: http://web.mit.edu/~georgiou/www/vi/
