I probably owe that man a good part of my living. Proof that even gods are mortal
Great words. He may be gone now but he’s got all us nerds in here thanking him and pondering the good ol days where his passion helped so many. Shit could be our eulogy from lemmy.
The guy onse famously responded to the question of how the community can ensure that vim project succeeds for the forseeable future with “keep me alive”. Seems like there is our fault :(
RIP the legend. Keep Vimming.

what an amazing editor he developed on top of vi, he’ll be remembered
This news hit me hard this morning. Bram’s work has directly benefited my career for decades. He was a good human being who did good things. RIP Bram
VIM only has two modes, constantly beeping or destroying everything. RIP Bram.
