This is why I don't use neovim. VimScript is god awful (emacs lisp is also a pretty bad lisp imo), but this is just adding additional layers of complexity for no measurable gain in value. If I wanted to transpile to an equally bad scripting language and talk over RPC I'd just go become a front end developer (those web devs are out of control).
I just want vim to start quickly, not crash, and generally get out of my way. Vimscript is good enough for any sort of scripting/plugins I want/need and I know it's going to just work.

It is not shipped with Neovim. > I just want vim to start quickly, not crash, and generally get out of my way That's a very low bar, which indicates you definitely aren't Neovim's target audience. If you're happy with Vim, carry on.
