For what it's worth, other editors (notably to my knowledge, UltraEdit) use Javascript or a Javascript-based language for their scripting. Personally, I never use scripting languages other than vimscript for controlling Vim, and find it a hassle to install one for the sake of a plugin. I haven't found a plugin yet which uses another scripting language and I've wanted enough to try installing it. Of course, I have installed fewer than a dozen plugins total, so maybe I'm not the target audience for such plugins anyway. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
