Hello Vim users,

29 years ago the very first version of Vim was built and distributed.

Congratulations, and thanks for keeping it up all these years; it gives "long term maintenance" a whole new meaning!

And Vim is more popular than ever before!  So, what's going on these days?


VIM 9 DEVELOPMENTS - MAKING VIM SCRIPT FASTER AND EASIER TO USE

This is a big project.  A lot of progress has been made, but it will
take time until we'll have "version 1.0".  To make it possible to
compile a Vim script function, so that it can be executed 10-100 times
faster, it was required to make changes that are not backwards
compatible.  Such as not having a dictionary and list for the function
arguments, since that causes too much overhead for every function call.

Does this mean

-   That there are no varargs?
-   That varargs are made available in some other way?
-   That you can't pass lists and dictionaries as arguments? (Not likely!)
-    Something else entirely? (I.e. me being dense!)
