Hey all, When swift was open sourced a few of us noticed that there was some existing vim highlighting support[0]. While it sounds like what's there now hasn't been kept up to date for a while[1], that brought up the question if there could ever be a dedicated repository for vim support under the apple github organization.
Many vim plugin managers expect a specific folder structure[2] in order to work correctly. So the current nesting of the vim support in the main repo isn't ideal. I think it would be hugely beneficial to the members of the community who would prefer to use vim over any other editor, for there to be a first party repo similar to rust's[3]. I'm not particularly suggesting that this plugin would be supported by the swift core team. As there are at least a few community swift vim plugins now[4][5] I would hope that as a community we would be willing and able to support this plguin. Personally I would love to be part of a unified effort towards better vim support for Swift! Thoughts? Thanks!
