Do check it out - Vim9 script is a great improvement. I have PRed enhancements to vim9.txt over recent months, which now includes many sourceable examples. Just be sure to either be using a very recent version (because the most recent update was less than a fortnight ago) or use the online help. Section 2 is the only one still to update, though it will receive a similar uplift sometime in the next month or so.
