TJ DeVries explains how they built a compiler in Rust to translate Vim9script into Lua for Neovim.

In this crazy show and tell episode, I tell you about how we made #vim's new vim9script language compile to #lua inside of #neovim using #rust. Pretty exciting day for me :) Project: - github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit Thorsten Book: interpreterbook.com/ PRs Linked: - github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21623 - github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21662 Neovim - Instant IDE: youtu.be/stqUbv-5u2s PDE Video: youtu.be/QMVIJhC9Veg ### Twitch We're always live streamin on twitch!Twitch : twitch.tv/teej_dv Discord: discord.gg/h2yeg4wrSK ### Links Twitch: twitch.tv/teej_dv Twitter: twitter.com/teej_dv Github: github.com/tjdevries ### Editor All my videos are edited by Flip.

nvim + vim9script: how Rust made it happen This video contains multiple topics that I found interesting: - 00:00 - 06:36: problem, constraints and solution - 06:36 - 08:30: lexer - 08:30 - 11:55: lexer "snapshot" or "golden" testing leveraging `cargo test` and `cargo insta review` - 11:55 - 14:45: parser - 14:45 - 16:15: testing the generated code - 16:15 - 19:20: what the generated code looks like, how it integrates with neovim's vimscript runtime
