    Damn, that’s sad. VIM has been a part of my software development career since the beginning. Thank you Bram Moolenaar for your invention.

    Think his tombstone has :q! on it? I love vim, I’ve used it daily for 25 years now.

    RIP Bram, from Amiga to MacOS at home, Windows and the random Linux server at work, and through all the different languages I tried out during the years, Vim was the reliable constant everywhere.
