@ariadne Sad news, vim is such an important and great piece of software. May his work and memory live on for a very long time.

@ariadne I worked with him a long time ago. Always the optimist. RIP Bram

@ariadne I only ever exchanged a few emails with Bram and that was many years ago, but this was enough to make me appreciate him personally, in addition to being thankful to him for Vim, which I use daily since many, many years and without which I literally can't imagine my life.

Thank you for everything, Bram!

@ariadne @VZ I saw people on Twitter saying they exchanged messages with him about a Vim bug report or something mere weeks ago, and they had no idea about his health 🥺

@ariadne Aw, man. So sad to hear. His legacy will live on.

@ariadne He was not that old. Not that it matters, it would have been very sad news either way. I hope his family is handling it okay.

@ariadne Oh wow. RIP. I can't think of another piece of software that I use so frequently. The sheer number of people that use Vim... I wonder what the future of it looks like without him.

@ariadne vim is one of the pure unalloyed goods in this world. Bram, thank you. Rest in peace.
