Sure thing, Marc. I run into things I can't do in Vim 9 during Advent of Code; but I realize I am using the language for something it was not built for primarily, so I don't raise too many issues. The issues I raise <https://github.com/vim/vim/issues?q=is:issue%20author:igbanam%20> are mainly bugs, and the Vim team is quick in getting these fixed.
Some plugins make quality of life better; mostly interfacing with tooling outside the editor. Off the top of my head… - vim-test/vim-test is a good abstraction on testing anything in the editor - puremourning/vimspector allows me debug with a familiar interface - tpope/fugitive has replaced how I use Git, alongside git-gutter and friends - vim-airline/vim-airline supercharges *:h 'statusline'*, - preservim/nerdtree + webdevicons is the *:Ex* I didn't know I needed, and - I've become rather dependent on welle/targets for working with text objects The community has always helped leveling up. By the time I got confident enough to be active in the community, Vim 9 was out with a more relatable syntax. *Igbanam* On Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 11:09 AM Marc Chantreux <m...@unistra.fr> wrote: > Hi Igbanam and thanks for sharing, > > On Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 09:59:09AM +0000, Igbanam Ogbuluijah wrote: > > I'm keen to hear your thoughts when you develop it more.
