VIM Port(s) on Android

[Johannes Köhler]

Dearly beloved VIM developers!

an short introduction to myself, you already got @ vim_use.
A bit, i know about to code from my coding experience
- but few bytes...

I dont want to disturb your coding time, but actually and currently,
someone is not being busy and maybe i could get an proper answer? ...
This hope came into being, face to face together with vim on android,
during the past week.

Q: Is there a running DEV idea, and working group of software
people, porting VIM to android without to use the JAVA
virtual machine?

The porting language should be able to be low level.

WHY: (Iam not quite sure, but) it seems like the Android LLVM
creates faster bytecode for low level languages then for JAVA.
I got this impression through using up to date
Android APPs from google play running on out of date hardware.

The individual call results from my search about a vim runtime
on android supporting the Perl Language.
E.g., it would be great to script vimscript for VIM @
android near close to the android kernel, then the java solutions
provide right now. E.g. NET::, IO::, GUI:: in perl, or terminal
pipes.

Then VIM could get an big nested app store by vimscript
and touch screen :)

I would go on with it...

THX sincerely
