What Hacker News says
11 sourcesI've been working on a language [1] that compiles (transpiles?) into Vimscript. Makes most things easier, I find.

In Learn Vimscript the Hard WayAlthough you might not want to debate whether Vimscript is better or worse than elisp, I don't mind. Most things are better than Vimscript.
I've even written a language [1] that compiles to Vimscript because it sucks so bad.

In Textadept: fast, minimalist, and Lua-extensible cross-platform text editorCool project! Just wondering why you decided to roll your own
parser. Is there a lua parser generator library?
I've been working on a source translator, sort of like coffeescript for VimL [1], and I can't imagine writing the parser myself instead a BNF grammar (but please correct me if I'm wrong, I only took a cursory look at the src)

Hey everyone, I've been working on a source translator that aims to be a superset of VimL with some other features as well. Why, you ask?
Good question.
Looking for contributors!
