Thank you for your comment. That is good news. Glad to hear. I read about the new features in vim9 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/ey91bd/i_have_mixed_feelings_for_vim9_script_what_do_you/
and here: https://github.com/brammool/vim9 (2. Phasing out Interfaces) Would be great to use python regex in the command line. Hopefully it'll work out. I'm also thinking of a way to leave python functions just like in vimscript (return).
