vim9

I don't see why you would write a plugin in VimL nowadays. I mean even VimL's author decided to just create a new language — vim9 script — instead of fixing this one [1]. With neovim rpc you can write glorious plugins in TypeScript and Python such as coc.nvim [2]. Other than that, I'm inspired by amount of work you put in the project.

I'm really not a fan of the decision to overhaul Vim script. It seems this is driven from a desire for Vim script to be faster [1]. I've not needed Vim script to be "faster" but I don't use very complex plugins. That said a lot of Vim script is written in sub-optimally. Using a more functional approach is faster (though still not "fast"), e.g. $ cat loop.vim let sum = 0 for i in range(1, 2999999) let sum += i endfor quit $ cat fold.vim call eval(join(range(1, 2999999), '+')) quit $ time vim -u NONE -S loop.vim vim -u NONE -S loop.vim 7.08s user 0.09s system 99% cpu 7.198 total $ time vim -u NONE -S fold.vim vim -u NONE -S fold.vim 2.03s user 0.13s system 99% cpu 2.166 total I think its cryptic reputation comes form the use of normal mode commands and regex within scri
