The last time I used Vim for programming, "fe" still stood for "fileencoding". I am aware that I missed around 20 years of Vim history and that Vim script is the way it is for good (historical) reasons. I soon discovered that Vim it had added control structures to ex scripts, then lists and dictionaries, then lambdas. It seemed on track to reinvent ECMAScript. Since at the time of writing, ECMAScript is by some measures the most popular programming language in the world, with an excellent free, embeddable and portable implementation (Duktape), it seems by far the best option to use the real thing for future Vim scripting.

Thanks, I love and use Duktape myself! Very good choice.

Given that ECMAScript use camelCase I'd suggest to rename the low level
API. E.g. read_blob -> readBlob.
