[slim-vim] Any objections if I post on the ecl-devel list that Jim's added ECL to Vim?

[Jim Bailey]

It is nice to have something useful to anounce, but seeing as people tend to come up with their own uses for just about anything I don't think it would be premature.

I have just synced to yours and Eirik's latest changes and I am really impressed with how things are progressing, thanks! Moving most of the lisp code to an external file is really good, as are the reliability and interface improvements. I got a spare few minutes to try out the changes, and added automatic runtime if_ecl.lisp loading as it decreases vim's startup time when not using ecl, and reduces configuration.

It is a shame about the debugger not being able to recursive edit because vim has no support. I will try and look at the soon to be released 7.0 code (I think the vim+async+ecl is based on 6.x by my mistake) and see if anything has improved in the event loop that could be usable. It is unlikely as full recursive edit would have to be built in, ecl's stack and c's stack are too intertwined to save one while unwinding the other.

Only another two days and I will have finished moving house, then I promise to add type checking to the existing functions.

How is the REPL comming along?

Jim
