Today’s stupid question: are vim and neovim not the same thing? I just type vi (ancient habit) and use whatever it is that executes. (I can go search but interacting here is more fun lol)
Yeah, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. People talk about “when Linus dies”, and obviously that will be devastating, but in my mind Bram just was. I wish I’d made a point of meeting him, or at least sending him an email to say thanks. Not for vim specifically, though I will probably use it until my fingers quit working. As with countess others, Bram inspired me to learn about ICCF Holland, and from there I had the privilege of supporting a child in Uganda through school. That’s what I’d want to thank him for. And vim.
Neovim is a fork of Vim. It uses Lua for configuration instead of the original Vim’s VimScript, but still has a lot of interoperability with original Vim plugins and configuration options.
Yeah vscode.

I believe neovim is just a fork of vim that’s still updated and has support for more modern features.
FWIW I think vim is also still updated, there was a release this year I believe
and then Bram died :(
oh… oh shit. That had somehow slipped my mind
:(
