   Oh wow.

   Bram has passed away.

   That’s so sad. 😢

   I can’t help but think of this quote from an interview with him:

   Q: How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?

   A: Keep me alive.

   #Vim

     Thank you, Bram, for creating and maintaining, for over 31 years, one of the most important day-to-day tools for a _lot_ of people.

     For keeping the spirit of a 50 year old editing paradigm alive, and continuing to introduce new people to it.

     And for having a significant impact on me personally. I wouldn’t be the person I am now without #Vim.
