## What it is
Neomake is a Vim/Neovim plugin that asynchronously runs linters and make programs, displaying results in the editor. It serves as an asynchronous alternative to the built-in :make command and Syntastic, with configurable makers per filetype or project.

## Use cases
- run linters asynchronously in vim
- show syntax errors while editing in neovim
- replace syntastic with an async linter
- run make from vim without blocking
- lint files automatically on save or change
- configure per-filetype checkers in vim

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want non-blocking linting
- you want an async replacement for Syntastic
- you need configurable makers per filetype or project

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor like VS Code or Emacs
- you want a built-in LSP-based diagnostics solution in modern Neovim
- you need actively developed features with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: linter, developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim-plugin, neovim, async-linting, syntax-checking, makers, command-line
