I sure do respect him too. I looked at Zimba and it looks really promising, but it is in early stage. Why do you think what you have in mind isn't possible with Zimbu? A complete rewrite of Vim can solve all problems. Mutlithreading, embedding. It would be great if the Zimbu compiler can be included in Vim, so plugins can be written in Zimbu. Write your script, compile and use it. And embedding Vim is such a wanted feature that I'm sure it will be there too. I know that forking Vim will divide community.

Most important is finishing Zimbu for that, A rewrite will be a lot of work but also a major opportunity. Delaying the discussion won't help. Best bet is to speed up Zimbu-Vim development. Zimbu has to be in a good enough state to start with Vim rewrite soon or the community will divide eventually. Rewriting Vim is much better than forking it. Rewriting it twice is stupid. A thing that should change is the community options. Why are we discussing by email? Why aren't Vim forums available? Forums are better accessible and will improve participation and thus the progress of development and ideas. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
