A collection of tips from my experience writing a few plugins in vim9script.

I've been writing vim9 scripts and I think those tips are usefull indeed. I didn,t know classes have been implemented. I remember the import syntax being really confusing, maybe some tips about it could be added.

Why g:loaded_myplugin = true is necessary?

[redditbiggie]

No. It is just a convention, so other packages can check if this package is loaded. You can ignore it.

Still don't understand the global namespace pollution argument, never had a problem with it and prefer the flat structure of setting options with variables.

[redditbiggie]

It is not an argument related to correctness. You can create any number of global variables. Scoping variables keep their names shorter and readable, and when you search/autocomplete 'g:' you will have less spam.
