Ping @fregante

fregante commented 3 years ago

Thanks for this! However it gives too much attention to vim stuff. We need to either revert the style and just keep the best 2 solutions or wrap everything in a details tag so that when it’s closed it only takes 1 line.

subnut commented 3 years ago

I wrapped up all vim-related plugins inside a <details> tag. Now is it OK?

subnut commented 3 years ago

No no, it is of no use for the end-user to know which language a plugin is written in. The end user only needs to know about what it's dependencies are. Why? Because satisfying dependencies can be a pain in the a** for those who aren't accustomed to the dependencies.

Just google "neovim python error" and look at the number of people having issues. Why? 'Cause they've never used python/pip/virtualenv. Just like I have never used npm.

Isn’t the fact that it’s written in Python or TLC imply that they require python or tlc installed?

fregante commented 3 years ago

I understand that you wrote a better dependency-free plugin and I appreciate your enthusiasm, but here I just need to list a few options and move on, I don’t need detailed explanations of each because those details can change.

What if I use this format:

Nope! In fact, mine is mainly written in python

Oh, right. So it should be compact, right? Hmm... I have given a compact layout in the latest commit. See if that is OK

So how can it run without python?

subnut commented 3 years ago

So how can it run without python?

I pre-compile it using pyinstaller. The user downloads the binary pre-compiled, and the binary itself does all the hard work.

@fregante Is the current description concise enough?

subnut commented 3 years ago

@fregante Is it OK? or are changes required?
