if_python*.c files are not enough (they contain only python-version-specific code), most code is in if_py_both.h and it has 6837 lines (+ 1597 lines of if_python.c or 1682 lines of if_python3.c). if_ruby.c and if_perl.xs are very bad examples, the API they provide does not have many features Python has and even Python API does not have enough features to allow Python developers to avoid learning VimL in complex cases. > > I have learned VimScript, but when I write a plugin still not as good as php > language, if you are python programmer, you like python write plugin too. For any more or less complex plugin you can’t write it in Python, only in Python+VimL. Or find some third-party library which wraps things for which you need to use VimL and prepare to face leaking abstractions. > > We just want to find an good editor, not a new language?

I think that Neovim is following the right path here: Vim just needs IPC features with normal RPC API (no, channels are way too limited compared to Neovim API). Add `-heredoc` argument to `:command` there and you can create wrappers for any external language you like without changing the core. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
