Lua is the correct choice. It’s not perfect, but there’s nothing better than it.

It’s the fastest scripting language and it’s easy to embed it into the application.

The ‘batteries’ can be found in `:h lua.txt`, they’ve grown significantly each release, and you can even use a package manager.

It's easy to start embedding it. Once you get to metatabled userdata with shared-upvalue methods and registry refs, you wish it was just python.

Reinventing iteration, vim.NIL, empty dict, utf-8, etc. Sorry for the snark, but I'm not surprised in the slightest and have no other emotion for that. They could have that and a whole world of packages and tools out of the box by using virtually any language except Lua.

do you have any other language in mind that can be embedded into the editor like lua? i remember that sublime text had python, but i don’t remember anything relevant from then.
