While it is true that learning VimL is only useful in Vim, whereas other languages have many uses elsewhere, it is also true that learning VimL is really just learning Vim. You can use all the same editing commands you use to interact with the editor, to script it.
I would say that's not an argument against other languages, since currently supported languages do use the same editing commands wrapped in a function call. I'm most familiar with Python and I really appreciate that it's quoting behaviour is nicer, and the language in general is both cleaner and more powerful. -ak -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
