Depends on the level of abstraction. You can write a VimL interpreter in JavaScript - so it would be possible. And that's the difference.
That JS is not perfect is well known. That's why dialects like "coffeescript" have been written. I agree that this "request" is orthogonal to your thread. Conclusion: Either I have time to implement JS backend - or I don't. So I'm likely to improve the async interface first. Not many other people think its worth the effort. I had to ask the community. > I knew the same bug was in Javascript syntax (..
