  • Also, from NeoVim's point, this makes it much harder to maintain compatibility even in things like syntax / ftplugin / etc files. See this recent issue: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/10968. Now, I fully sympathize with your point that NeoVim is a fork of Vim and therefore Vim shouldn't be beholden to NeoVim needs when pushing out features like this, but by introducing vim9script everywhere, it's going to further push NeoVim to start converting most basic syntax/runtime files to Lua instead (since they can no longer merge vanilla Vimscript from upstream) causing further split. So from their perspective it's both an annoyance, and an opportunity / permission to really start diverging.

  • copilot.vim

  • Anyway your example is interesting because, I hadn't realized that copilot recently added vim support: https://github.com/github/copilot.vim/commit/da286d8c52159026f9cba16cd0f98b609c056841
