my opinion is don't -- just don't -- there isn't a plugin made
that you need -- vim supports all known languages just fine
out of the box, or at least all the ones i've heard of

you don't need any special scripting languages compiled into
your vim either -- vim has a perfectly good scripting
language, and if you need or want to do something to your
buffer in another language, write it as a filter and compose a
vim script to call it

plugin authors come in all shapes and varieties and you open
yourself to inconsistencies and glitches by installing them

just my opinion, as i said
