A. Sure, but it isn't sufficiently beneficial for the cost.

B. WebAssembly is immature for developing a plugin system because of the lack of a sufficient ABI: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model

C. There aren't any other languages that meet the criteria. Lua was a no-go from the start. The maintainers did not like the language, and it necessitated adding more C code to Helix which could complicate building even further. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/3806#discu...

A Lisp, a weird dialect of Lisp, is not better than Lua. Why use Rune [0]?!

Rune is not mature and is developed by a handful of people. Please check the thread I linked, literally everything you could say has already been addressed.

Saying "X is better than Y" or "Why not Z?" is not constructive at all.
