description
Leverage the power of Vim's compiler plugins without being bound by synchronicity.  Kick off builds and test suites using one of several asynchronous adapters (including tmux, screen, iTerm, Windows, and a headless mode), and when the job completes, errors will be loaded and parsed automatically.
