I take that to mean that C/C++ extensions are not an issue.

One obvious downside with general-purpose scripting languages is that
you would need Python, etc. installed to use such plugins. Not a problem
in my case, since I have admin authority to this machine, but are there
other issues, maybe in terms of integration, both with Vim and other
plugins?

Thank you for your comments,
