#52I had interacted with him over the mailing list a few times and he was always very helpful. I'll miss him.

#54There is a collection of people and cultural artifacts that are contemporary to us, though usually not our exact age. They pass away, one at a time, until we are all that is left of the world we once defined, a world that eventually is gone.
Bram’s passing is another chip at the passing of the world I knew, where vim was new.
Thank you Bram for your excellent and enviable contribution to computing.

#55Wow that hits rather hard actually. I never knew him other than through the welcome message on Vim, but he made one of the tools I rely on the most in my daily life. Thanks Bram, have a good afterlife.
I am likewise surprised by how hard this hits. I shouted out loud when I read the headline! Quite a reaction to somebody who I only ever saw one photo of and read the occasional release notes etc. Yet as a vim user, he has been part my daily activities for years.
The name Bram Moolenaar has hovered across all my work…
Thank you Mr. Moolenaar.

Re: Bram Moolenaar has died
#60Bram was an inspiration, not just for developing vim, which so many of we programmers used to get into a flow state programming. But also for his work on charity. Deserving of the black banner!
