    You don't have to type "end". Shameless self plug: I wrote an extension that closes everything automatically, inspired by a plugin for vim with the same name: endwise[1] It's not 1…

    A good decision to focus on closing issues and doing more polish for the past month. The project moves fast, so taking a step back is really appreciated - before it gets out of con…
