The Vim text editor has released version v9.0 . The main change is the addition of the Vim9 Script language for customization. One of the main goals of Vim9 Script is to significantly improve performance, by compiling commands into efficiently executable instructions to achieve leaps in speed, which are expected to be 10 to 100 times faster. Another purpose is to avoid Vim-specific structures and to approximate common programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java. Other changes include that backslashes are no longer required for line continuation, comments start with #, functions must be defined with def, and so on.
