I haven't tried the JS interface patch, but I definitely would like to see a javascript interface. I don't know Lua, TCL or Ruby (though I intend to learn the latter one day), I don't like to use Perl or Python for anything more than a few dozen lines, and I hate Scheme almost as much as Lisp. Javascript is a powerful, easy to learn, multi-paradigm language that was designed for embedding, so I think it's a perfect fit for a Vim interface - and I personally would be more likely to use it than any of the other interfaces. ~Matt -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
