Being a collection of commands that can be entered in a repl does not make it a text centric DSL Text manipulation in vimscript is more verbose than Rust including all ownership syntax. What elements of vimscripts design make it good at parsing and manipulating text? I can imagine a beautiful text centric EDSL in Haskell or a lisp that integrates tree sitter to provide syntactic hooks. I don't blame vimscript for not having this modern integration, but I do blame it for being a poorly designed language and I condemn any attempts to prolong its life. Over in NeoVim land treesitter is being integrated. Once it lands someone should write a EDSL in the Lua lisp.
