I've been complaining about Vim related issues for a long time, I think its time to stop complaining and just fix it.
Join by providing feedback: http://mawercer.de/vim.php or adding additional issues to be fixed here: http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/in-which-way-does-vim-suck.html The idea is to create a kickstarter project to funding all work. IMHO Vim is worth keeping alive, and that means we must find a way to move Vim into the future. If this requires writing a new language, because C lacks abstracktions, and C++ is complex, then that's the task to be done IMHO. This project makes me think we might have success: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxcantor/beautiful-vim-cheat-sheet-poster?ref=live Thus if you're either a developper or a user who wants to help join and tell me what you want to work on - even if its "testing new features you care about" only. Goals are: - focus on productivity - code reusage I consider refactoring viml a key thing, eg creating a viml library which contains the interpreter only. If you'll help me with this I'll be working on Vim related topics the following month, otherwise I'll get any alternative job. I feel I've hit a border meaning some core items must be fixed in order to improve even further, and most people cannot afford dropping out of job and work 8 weeks on Vim. The work will be - defining goals - fixing them This work might end - in rewriting huge parts - introducing threading (python, ruby ctrl-c does not work) - have your whatever beloved interpreter as standard interpreter - add js support (v8) - compare with Yzis - think about whether gobjectIntrospection interface can be used to share work on interfacing with interpreters in the future. - maybe introducing a new higher level language which is friendly to C and less complex than C++ - yes, sry - I consider C to be a problem because its hard to share code, eg reuse the syntax highlighting from within JS and so on. - .. Of course if you think "vim is great the way it is" (I agree) and if you think "nothing should be changed" I tend to disagree. If you don't receive much feedback I'll try the kickstarter project adding features I think are most useful to start with. Marc Weber -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
