Bit of an oversight :) Has anyone done interesting stuff using scripts other than vimscript with recent versions? I played with the python interface when it was first supported many releases back and found it hacky and also slow.
- compay 16y agoCommand-T is a pretty popular new plugin for selecting files in and below your current directory; it makes heavy use of the Ruby interface. http://github.com/wincent/Command-T http://github.com/wincent/Command-T It also uses a small C extension to Ruby for speed, because for this particular scenario Ruby is a bit too slow to be comfortable. Since Lua is so lightweight and fast, I think it should be an alternative worth considering in situations like this one, since it offers a reasonable compromise between the speed of C and the comfort of a high-level language like Ruby or Python.
