Write a plugin in vim9script to be compatible with the original Vim

[jclsn]

This plugin exclusively written for Neovim, which can't be used in the original Vim. Many people still use it though. Would be great if there could also get one written in vim9script for Vim!

That's a totally reasonable ask. It's going to be a while before we can prioritize this, though, so if you want it fast; PRs are most welcome ;) Ideally, though, we have one plugin that works in either, if that's doable.

@holzensp Thank you for being open for this. It is doable, but currently it would have to be written in legacy vimscript. Although I am not sure if Neovim will add vim9script support in the future.

Ah seems there are plans

vim9script is also much nicer to program in, as it got rid of much of the quirks of legacy vimscript.

In that case, I'd await the neovim support for vim9 before kicking this off.

Upon further inquiry it seems they are not likely to support it any time soon.

You could still write the plugin in legacy vimscript though, to make it available for both editors.
