Hmm. I guess turning on Lua was a bad idea. Apparently forcing a static build didn't work right. Will be fixed in around 20m. EDIT: fixed! Disabled Lua for now, I have both my own build and brew's installed, and it will take some time to sort out.

Thank you very much. I'm the author of subvim ( https://github.com/fatih/subvim ) . And if this works fine I will promote this as the go-to editor to use subvim.

That would be grand. I've been using this for a few months now, and everything works OK - it was only this build that included Lua support (since I enabled it locally for myself a while back), but I've already tested the fixed binary on another Mac with no ill effects. Just grab a fresh DMG from the same place.

This is VERY hacky, but that was kind of the point I was making. Hack together what you need! Here you go: http://pastebin.com/sPmPsCgY Edit: Safari reloads the existing tab, so set the default browser to Safari if you want that.

that is quite clever. works here too. any idea how you could convince firefox to reload the tab rather than creating a new one?

You can use AppleScript to accomplish that. See for example https://github.com/mharju/vim-fiddle/blob/master/template/fi... for hints on how to do it.

Complete Changelog ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README (it includes all changes from 7.3 up to 7.4) New patches for 7.4 will be in the patches/7.4 folder.

Wow. Actual .patch files. In 2013. This is ridiculous.

What's ridiculous about it?

I've been digging deeper and deeper into vimscript and also scripting vim with python. It's so amazing what you can do with just a few lines of hacky vimscript! Today I made it so that every time I open a .markdown file, vim compiles it to html and opens it in my browser (using 'open' command on OS X). It also updates it automatically every time I save or leave insert mode. I've also hacked together a python REPL ins…

It looks like Vim 7.4 has been compiled without MzScheme support.

It doesn't appear as though MacVim for 10.7 and 10.8 is released yet though the 10.6 is: http://code.google.com/p/macvim/downloads/list

I use it every day on 10.8. Use homebrew and have less grey hairs: brew install macvim

Larry Wall does not have a CS degree.

But his degree did involve computers. He got his undergraduate degree in natural and artificial languages

I assume a degree with that title would lean towards the formal side of linguistics, which means you would certainly cover things like the Chomsky hierarchy in detail; after all linguistics is where the Chomsky hierarchy (though not regular languages) originated.
