Command-T is a pretty popular new plugin for selecting files in and below your current directory; it makes heavy use of the Ruby interface. http://github.com/wincent/Command-T It also uses a small C extension to Ruby for speed, because for this particular scenario Ruby is a bit too slow to be comfortable. Since Lua is so lightweight and fast, I think it should be an alternative worth considering in situations like this one, since it offers a reasonable compromise between the speed of C and the comfort of a high-level language like Ruby or Python.

Command-T is a relatively new Vim plugin that does fuzzy matching on the entire path, giving greater weight to characters immediately following slashes or other word separators in the pathname. I've been using it for a few days now and can attest that it is extremely fast and seems to "know" exactly which file I want after just a few keystrokes. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3025 | http://github.com/wincent/Command-T
