I don't believe it'll speed up existing plugins though. If I remember correctly, vim9script is akin to an entire new programming language. Heck, even the syntax for comments has changed.

set number " This is a comment in vimscript

set number # This is a comment in vim9script

There's going to be a LOT of porting of existing plugins for this to all work.

So seems it won't require much porting unless people want to do the porting.


You are right, my apologies. Reading through this https://vimhelp.org/vim9.txt.html again, it appears that you can intermix vimscript and vim9script.
