Making the vim plugin async by using jobstart()

[erietz]

Any thoughts on making this function

https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/blob/b9a9d0e6878972071c748e5ed93353b6e486abc9/vim/autoload/himalaya/shared/cli.vim#L4

async by using jobstart() rather than system()?

Every time it is called in this file

https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/blob/b9a9d0e6878972071c748e5ed93353b6e486abc9/vim/autoload/himalaya/msg.vim#L3

vim gets blocked. I could work on a PR for this.

Never mind. This looks challenging since you would have to write a bunch of callback functions.

In fact, I find your remark really pertinent. I already wrote some code related to jobs that works for both vim and neovim (https://github.com/soywod/iris.vim/tree/master/autoload/iris/job), I could reuse it for himalaya. I reopen the issue!

Cool, it looks like you got all of the stdout buffing figured out. I remember it was a bit of a pain the last time I had to look at it.

P.S. I replied directy to this message in neovim with Himalaya ;)

I finally took time to do it (1 year after :sweat_smile:), it is available on the new repo at https://git.sr.ht/~soywod/himalaya-vim (commit a26044).

Awesome, I had completely forgotten about this project.

It's still there, growing well :slightly_smiling_face: going toward a production-ready version!
