> ZyX you're right. It might break some plugins who have put .py files into plugin/
The idea behind "plugin" was is that people know that things in plugin/ get sourced. Its like "keeping things simple". I've no idea how many plugins would break. I'd also agree on a different directory. That's an implementation detail from my point of view. Its simpler for the user, because he/she has to remember only one directory -> and it will force users to separate configuration from implementation, which is a good thing in the long run. > I hope to provide my-plugins for all users, for example some peaple > that don't have if_python-feature. Good luck if you want to provide your plugin for *all users*, also *windows users* and you need a "rm -fr" feature. You start reinventing the wheel this way: https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager/blob/master/autoload/vam/utils.vim That's why VimL should die, and all people should start using python then. Of course feel free to continue this style of insanity. Nobody will stop you. In the future I want to use shutils.rmtree('..') and have it work on all platforms. Yes - VimL will not die - and most plugins will just happily work with VimL - and many new plugins will be VimL only. But there must be default escape path for complexer plugins - without exhausting devs working around things - such as "implement XML libaries in VimL" (see webapi) - sorry, this is *insane*. This all has been done many times before. That's why this "python" improvement is that important for the community IMHO. But of course that's only my perception. In the end whether its python, perl or ruby doesn't matter as long as its any decent language. VimL was ahead of time when it was introduced. But today having to maintain your own language does no longer make sense unless you have veriy specific needs. Marc Weber -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
