94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	15 The third item on the poll results of 2018, after popup windows and text
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	16 properties, is faster Vim script. So how do we do that?
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	17
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	18 I have been throwing some ideas around, and soon came to the conclusion
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	19 that the current way functions are called and executed, with
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	20 dictionaries for the arguments and local variables, is never going to be
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	21 very fast. We're lucky if we can make it twice as fast. The overhead
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	22 of a function call and executing every line is just too high.

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	24 So what then? We can only make something fast by having a new way of
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	25 defining a function, with similar but different properties of the old
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	26 way:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	27 * Arguments are only available by name, not through the a: dictionary or

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	29 * Local variables are not available in an l: dictionary.

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	75 How does Vim9 script work? The function is first compiled into a sequence of
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	76 instructions. Each instruction has one or two parameters and a stack is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	77 used to store intermediate results. Local variables are also on the
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	78 stack, space is reserved during compilation. This is a fairly normal
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	79 way of compilation into an intermediate format, specialized for Vim,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	80 e.g. each stack item is a typeval_T. And one of the instructions is

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	86 Attempts have been made to implement functionality with built-in script
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	87 languages such as Python, Perl, Lua, Tcl and Ruby. This never gained much
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	88 foothold, for various reasons.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	89
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	90 Instead of using script language support in Vim:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	91 * Encourage implementing external tools in any language and communicate
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	92 with them. The job and channel support already makes this possible.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	93 Really any language can be used, also Java and Go, which are not
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	94 available built-in.

1b345fb68ae3 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 19181 diff changeset	97 interfaces.
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	98 * Improve the Vim script language, it is used to communicate with the external
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	99 tool and implements the Vim side of the interface. Also, it can be used when
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	100 an external tool is undesired.

21825 0db0640e16e0 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 21676 diff changeset	102 Altogether this creates a clear situation: Vim with the +eval feature
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	103 will be sufficient for most plugins, while some plugins require
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	104 installing a tool that can be written in any language. No confusion
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	105 about having Vim but the plugin not working because some specific
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	106 language is missing. This is a good long term goal.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	107
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	108 Rationale: Why is it better to run a tool separately from Vim than using a
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	109 built-in interface and interpreter? Take for example something that is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	110 written in Python:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	111 * The built-in interface uses the embedded python interpreter. This is less
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	112 well maintained than the python command. Building Vim with it requires
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	113 installing developer packages. If loaded dynamically there can be a version
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	114 mismatch.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	115 * When running the tool externally the standard python command can be used,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	116 which is quite often available by default or can be easily installed.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	117 * The built-in interface has an API that is unique for Vim with Python. This is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	118 an extra API to learn.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	119 * A .py file can be compiled into a .pyc file and execute much faster.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	120 * Inside Vim multi-threading can cause problems, since the Vim core is single
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	121 threaded. In an external tool there are no such problems.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	122 * The Vim part is written in .vim files, the Python part is in .py files, this
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	123 is nicely separated.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	124 * Disadvantage: An interface needs to be made between Vim and Python.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	125 JSON is available for this, and it's fairly easy to use. But it still

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	134 In other words: "less weird". Making it work more like modern

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	137 A good example is how in a function the arguments are prefixed with
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	138 "a:". No other language I know does that, so let's drop it.

19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	147 It should be possible to convert code from other languages to Vim
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	148 script. We can add functionality to make this easier. This still needs
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	149 to be discussed, but we can consider adding type checking and a simple
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	150 form of classes. If you look at JavaScript for example, it has gone

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	152 TypeScript adds type checking. But we'll have to see how much of that
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	153 we actually want to include in Vim script. Ideally a conversion tool

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	160 make that mistake (after writing JavaScript especially). I think it is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	161 possible, if we make local variables shadow commands. That should be OK,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	162 if you shadow a command you want to use, just rename the variable.
