A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Damn, only 62. I don't see a cause of death yet, just "a medical condition that deteriorated over the last few weeks." I appreciate that he always connected VIM to his charities.

VI was the past and NeoVim might be the future, but Bram carried the torch for a long time with VIM. Much respect.
