OH so it looks like the new #Vim fork #Evi is looking to drop vim9script.

Feature freezing vimscript and implementing Kuroko scripting?

That's a no from me then. Think I'll just be sticking to what I know which is Vim.

For now, this is just a suggestion, but it was discussed with Lemmus on Mastodon. https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/116255217960683085 I shall also talk about this on IRC later. I believe that feature freezing vimscript in general as well will help with overall maintenance.

@justine I'm already annoyed at how much lua I had to learn to get neovim to play nice with all my LSPs.

Seriously, NO ONE wants to learn yet another poorly-typed scripting language.

Maybe implement something with a real type system to pique my interest. How about a PureScript API that degenerates (joking; hyperbolic) can write JS to access?

@BoydStephenSmithJr @justine I've been wanting a strongly typed interpreted scripting language, but I haven't found anything.

Do you know of any?

The closest thing I've seen is #dartlang that can be jit with a shebang using a little hackyness.

#RocLang looks interesting, but I love closing braces.

@UkiahSmith @justine Technically, I think GHC still has an "interpreter" mode, that is used for GHCi, the REPL. (You can she-bang runhaskell or runghc if you want to write scripts like that.)

But, nothing I could point to and say that's definitely the one to use.

@UkiahSmith @BoydStephenSmithJr @justine Luau and Teal are both efforts in that dirrection.
