Wolf<p>I think any large interesting program you might write could well have an embedded language within it, in which the user can write stuff that is just as good, and just as deep as built-in functionality. You want this. It’s a thing that makes programs compelling.</p><p>In <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vim</span></a>, that embedded language is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/VimScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VimScript</span></a>. In <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a>, that’s <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elisp</span></a> (which in fact, I think the whole thing is written in). In a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smalltalk</span></a> environment, you control the entire environment with Smalltalk, just as elisp applies to Emacs. For many, many things, that language is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lua</span></a> ( <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NeoVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoVim</span></a>, many games, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pandoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandoc</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redis</span></a>, this list goes on).</p><p>I used to think there were really two reasonable mainstream languages you could use here: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> or <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>javascript</span></a>. Between those two, for a long time I felt that JavaScript was the winner. I think that has changed as Python has gotten faster, more powerful, and better known. But also, I think the answer might actually not be either of these two. It might be Lua. Lua is simpler and faster than either JavaScript or Python. It’s more embeddable. It’s designed specifically for this purpose. It’s in much wider use as an embedded scripting language. I don’t want Lua to be the answer. I like Python better. But I think Lua actually is the right answer.</p>

Guillaume Louvel<p>Ok, I admit that writing a syntax file in Vimscript is a pain.</p><p><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vim</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Vimscript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vimscript</span></a></p>
Wolf<p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vim</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NeoVim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoVim</span></a> I found what was replacing all my argument lists with underscores: argtextobj.vim. This is one of my favorite plugins. It hasn’t been touched in 15 years, though. Probably something changed in the editor itself that broke it. I could abandon it; I could fix it; or I could rewrite it. I asked my friend what language it should be rewritten in. He said <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vim9script" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vim9script</span></a> of course! I disagreed. That would only work in Vim. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lua</span></a> would only work in NeoVim. Maybe <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vimscript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vimscript</span></a> from just before 9. Maybe <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a>. Maybe <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rustlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rustlang</span></a>. All three of those would run in both. I kinda don’t want to use VimScript, but that’s technically the correct choice.</p><p>Of course it would be waaay easier if it used the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lsp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lsp</span></a>. Otherwise you’re parsing patterns and brackets and strings. Not sure such a solution works in plain old Vim. </p><p>What does the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> say?</p>
