I received an email from on the vim_announce mailng list that Bram Moolenaar, VIM creator, died August 3 2023. RIP Bram and condolences to his family and friends.
:wq
:(
May his loved ones find solace in sharing those memories of him, that inspire them most.
Looks like we failed bram :(
https://www.binpress.com/vim-creator-bram-moolenaar-interview/Vim is the only tool I can’t imagine to replace. I could go from Linux to BSD, I could switch shells, I have used many windowing environments, but vim just is.
Rest in Power you legend.
Vim has been with me all my adult life. I can’t imagine using a computer without installing vim at one point or another. It’s like an old Swiss army knife you can’t live without.
Come to think of it, this man has had a lot more impact on my life than almost anybody else and I didn’t even realize it.
Thank you Bram.
