Vim 9 is here and seems to bring a much newer approach to writing scripts.
Whether this is better remains to be seen. In any case, they seem to have learned from the "Python 2 disaster".
"No drama like with the deprecation of Python 2."
Has anyone looked at the features yet?
What is your opinion?
This seems to be the most important message:
"For those with a large collection of legacy scripts: Not to worry! They will keep working as before"
But I still have one question? If you wanted to make everything better, why didn't you take something existing, like LUA, Starlark or even Javascript for all I care (and I'm not a fan of the language)

Sure! It's an awesome improvement. I love the new syntax for scripts (the new comments are pure gold).
I'm hoping to see it in neovim also.
thanks for the feedback
I am curious how this will develop.
