Re: Why is Vimscript/VimL much slower than Python when traversing long lists?

VimL is known to be slow.

If you know that you need speed use python or external tools.

Why is it the way it is? I don't know.

Eventually wait for better replies.

I can recommend using a disnict .py file for writing python because then
you get all python support (syntax, completion, etc).

If you want to learn how a .py file can be found by path have a look at
github.com/MarcWeber/scion-backend-vim

let s:self=expand('<sfile>:h')

You may also want to use a str quoting function like this:

def vimQuote(s):
return '"%s"' % s.replace("\\","\\\\").replace('"', '\\"').replace("\n", "\\n")

because python's to str comes only close (maybe I should retry the to
json implementation and find out when whether it fails)
