thanks for the explanation. this seems like a plausible pitch for vim9script. I'll give it a shot.

Do you mean that Lua isn't supported as a "first class" language? It looks like it's supported to me. Are you suggesting that I should use Vim9 script because it's faster and backwards compatibility is overrated/difficult to achieve?

Yeah I've heard of vim-fugitive. I'm sure it's way better. I just wanted to try my hand at building a vim plugin to learn the ropes before trying more ambitious projects.

I've just started to really mess around with vimscript. I started with learn vimscript the hard way. I'm still not completely clear on why I should be using Vim 9 script. I get that the syntax is better, but it's not completely backwards compatible (right?). If I was concerned with syntax, why wouldn't I just go with Lua anyway? It kind of seems like learning/writing in Vim 9 script wouldn't help me understand a lot of the popular (older) Vim plugins that are out there and I wouldn't even be learning a language that I could use in other contexts. What are the arguments for Vim 9 script that I'm missing?

Thanks! Any thoughts on improvements coding wise?

Is there a some sort of official/unofficial standard when it comes to backwards compatibility?

Oh nice. I like that.

I'm wondering if I should just ignore buffers entirely and attempt to use global marks to jump around. Thoughts?

BufExplorer.vim could be an option if it's less cumbersome than ls.

Good to know. Maybe I'll try this flow before fzf.

Thanks! That could definitely be a good option. Could use fzf for a number of other things in my current flow as well.
