Bram Moolenaar, creator of vim, has died.
If you are a vim user, consider donating to International Child Care Fund Holland - a charity Bram heavily supported. You can find the link on vim.org

I am truly and deeply saddened to hear this. My condolences to his family.
vimorvim-enhancedis one of the first things I install on any distro that doesn’t have it included by default. I have been using it for decades and am so used to seeing Bram’s name come up on the screen whenever I start the editor. His work greatly enriched my programming experience over the years and I am sure for countless other people as well. I don’t know what to say except a heartfelt “Thank you, Bram”.Looks like we failed bram :(

8: How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future? Keep me alive.
It could be that we have transitioned into the unforeseeable future.
Looks like I picked a good time to learn emacs (with evil mode)
:wq ✊
What an absolute legend. Hard to imagine many others with as significant of an impact on programmers all over the world. He will be greatly missed. RIP.
:x
Oh wow this so sad. Ever since I used vimtutor the first time, Ive used vim keys in every editor I used. Hopefully the project keeps doing well without him, its a great piece of software.
My entire life has vim key bindings. My window manager and browser all have vim key bindings. I work in vim. I write my shopping lists in vim.
I really can’t overstate how ingrained vim is in my day to day life. Bram had a big impact.
Same here OP
Bram will be missed. ✊🏾 :wq
Me too. I’ve used vim to make my living for at least the last 20 years.
Rest in peace.
:wq
vim got me started programming recently, love it. Rest well,
:wq
RIP. Even this Emacs user uses evil mode these days 🫡
While I’ve never been able to wrap my head around vim, the impact it has had is undeniable. He will be sorely missed. RIP
RIP :(

:wq brother.
I loved programming exactly when i learned to love vim.

In this case :wq does not sound right.
I would go with :q! (or :qa!)
Because death always fucks up all your plans.
