Both were originally released in 1991. However, some of the
vim-script language features like list-initializers and
dictionary-initializers and negative list-indexing came into vim long
after Python had them and they draw pretty strong syntactic influence
thence.

Indeed, vim does find its roots in vi(1) which in turn is the visual
mode of ex(1) which shares concepts with ed(1). (and if you are on
Twitter or Mastodon and enjoy ed(1), feel free to check out my
@ed1conf and @ed1conf@bsd.network alter-ego accounts)

As Dr. Chip mentions, prefix the setting-name with an "&"
:echo 'The value of foldcolumn is set to '.&fdc
should do the trick.
