After that I'd say that LibPeas is perhaps something to be considered for new application but not for our existing codebase. I think we want something that enables proxy plugins while maintaining API and ABI stability.
peas does does you describe, and provides build-in loaders for Python 2/3 and JavaScript, i.e. standard languages. Please don't throw it away before even trying to adapt it.
As you have mentioned, even for C plugins it's a major change, and it requires a lot of changes to Geany (doesn't it?).
So why adapt peas when it requires a lot of changes *too* but also severely breaks plugin API?
I must be missing something, but it essence it appears to me that adapting peas requires no less effort than what I propose (it's not actually that much new code, just a lot of refactoring) but also implies a major plugin API breakage (while my proposal can be implemented without API breakage).
