vim9jit is an experimental project to take vim9script
and convert it to lua
that can run within Neovim.
It will not be a full vimscript parser, but instead will only parse the necessary amount of vim9script to send
the rest of the vimscript to Neovim's vimscript interpreter. In general, this revolves around converting new def
style syntax, as well as doing things with import
and a few more items.
For examples of some of the "transpiled" code, you can check: ./crates/vim9-gen/testdata/output/
Subject to change. We'll be exploring this quite a bit over the next month (Sept 2022 - Oct 2022)
