Yup, there is no reason to not use Vim 9 for bundled scripts since we don't have backwards compatibility to worry about.
Interesting point about using osascript,. I didn't know that. I tested it and it does seem to block. I do want to avoid having to ask about permissions just to print a file (since such permissions could be broad and the user may not want to give it to begin with), and I found that I could trick it into a weird state. In particular, if the pdf file doesn't exist for some reason or is corrupted (I just typed "asdf" into a blank file), you can trick Preview to pop up a dialog box (in the background) saying that it can't open the file but *not *show the app icon in the Dock, meaning the user has no way of finding it. The precise steps is a little convoluted (you need to close Preview first) and to be fair we shouldn't generate corrupt PDF files, and this actually seems more like a macOS bug per se, but in this case the blocking behavior can actually become a liability. I think I will stick with the timer trick for now but good to know that osascript can block on this for future reference.
