Would it be possible to use vim job to replace compiled dll? #288

Closed skeept closed 5 years ago

I am not sure if possible but I was thinking that maybe with vim8 maybe it would be possible to have the following logic:

if (dll exists) then use dll to do the work else if vim has jobs use vim job feature to do the work else give error end

I don't know the plugin enough to know if this is viable or not. But if this works then user doesn't need to compile anything and plugin just works.

I think it should not. If you use Vim8 plugin, you should use job APIs directly.

yes I agree. The problem is I use neocomplete in some machines that I don't have vim with python. neocomplete uses vimproc. So it will give an warning saying to compile the library.

I am not sure other plugins use vimproc as well. I know you stopped developing neocomplete but I think it still works really well for my needs. Thank you for developing that!
