Vim needs to be compiled with Ruby support for this to work. If you're on a Mac, the default installation of vim is -ruby, but it's possible to run MacVim (which does have Ruby support) in terminal if you want to.
Nice writeup though.
- nimrody 16y agoIs it really that difficult working with vim's own scripting language? Or does it limit you in some way? Requiring plugin users to have a ruby/python/perl enabled vim automatically reduces the potential userbase. And one of the benefits of vim is its widespread availability.
- sigzero 16y agoIt probably isn't that difficult but why learn yet another language (vimscript) when you already know Ruby,Python,Perl,Tcl and Scheme? All of which can be used.
