Yes, and there was a kind of dispute about this. The gist of it can be found in this ticket: https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4187 https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4187
EDIT: Interesting read also about the pros and cons of Slang2 as scripting language, some history and the job of maintaining mc in general …
- mpol 6y agoInteresting read, thank you. So there is also a plugin system in Lua waiting, it just needs someone to care for it. The S-lang plugin system will not go in mc itself since they prefer to get rid of S-lang alltogether, in favor of ncurses as screen library. This same author had a Python plugin system first, but scrapped it in favor of this S-lang plugin system. And yes, I can imagine they are looking more for people doing maintenance instead of innovators. They do seem genuine nice guys though.
