:thisIsFine: Panic. I've just pulled Vim. `agents.md` pops up. Panic sets in.

More EnLLMification, and now it's even in my favourite editor :blobcattableflip:! Nothing is spared. Ugh, this makes me so angry! Really angry. IN VIM, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!... :blobcattableflip:

I suppose I'll have to rewrite all my Vim9Scripts in VimScript and test vim-classic 8.3. I’m so sick of this. You can't even summarise this in a single toot.

Nobody believes this shit anymore.

Vim. It's seriously ridiculous.

The table-building demo uses a Neovim floating window to edit the cell in place, but the functionality is still available on Vim by using a split window.

Vim binaries you get from package managers are often compiled with python support, so you might be able to replicate this neat vim9script plotting example: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/1mtwffg/plot_with_vim/

@nemith Thanks for the tip. I have worked with #Neovim for a long time and am therefore quite familiar with it. However, despite having fewer plugins, it has always been considerably slower than #Vim9. Additionally, the LSP architecture is painfully slow and dependent on other language servers running in the background and listening on UNIX sockets. This is acceptable with gopls. Unfortunately, 90% of my work still involves #PHP and all the PHP language servers are poor. #Intelephense, which I purchased, is even proprietary and was often unable to validate my licence.
I was so frustrated that I gave up on Neovim because it offered me no added value compared to Vim 9. Moreover, 89% of what LSPs do can also be provided by #ctags, without the need for a buggy and slow Node.js Language Server.

I'm really impressed with Vim-go. It's so handy! The auto import and auto formatting when saving alone work really reliably.

Is the Vim (9.1) tag search slow for you too? This only happens with huge projects that have many PHP vendor dependencies, which can occur quickly with PHP. How do you handle it? Does Vim understand multiple tag files? Can it be multi-threaded somehow?

Vim9script is a statically-typed language, inspired by typescript, but much simpler and more limited.

A recent PR lifts some of those limitations by adding generic functions to the language: https://vimhelp.org/vim9.txt.html#generic-functions

If you have a monitor with a lot of horizontal space, you might find the recently-added Vim "tabpanel" feature interesting. You can use it to organize your open buffers into a vertical side panel. Here's one redditor experimenting with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/1l0od8p/messing_with_the_new_vertical_tabpanel/

Has anyone had good experiences with (universal) ctags for PHP? Looking for a solid, non-plugin, vim-native LS alternative for vim (9.1).

I tried `ctags -R --language-force=PHP --php-kinds=+c-f --fields=+n` as well as setting tags `set tags=./tags;,tags` but vim can't jump to function declarations by tag.

Massively simplified some custom highlight group manipulation using Vim 9's hlget() and hlget() functions:

https://github.com/jparise/dotfiles/commit/ad1c0456c38040bcd96eea549817d4c3fed36b4e

It's scary just looking at the old code that manually parsed and reassembled `verbose highlight {group-name}` strings, even with the comments to help me remember what it was doing.
