I've been wondering about this recently and haven't seen a good answer. The question might be better put, "Why doesn't Vim support other languages for scripting?" I've found Vimscript illegible and difficult to debug, and the thought of implementing a meaningful project in it scares me off. Emacs has lisp, is there a reason Vim is stuck with Vimscript?
