I am very sad to read the news about Bram today: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/tWahca9zkt4
My condolences to his family. I did not hear anything from Bram in the last month, which was unusual, but I assumed he was on holidays. I never met Bram unfortunately, but we exchanged many emails or messages in vimdev over the last twenty years. All kinds of memories of interactions with Bram come back to me now. Bram struck me as a talented developer, extremely dedicated to his project, obstinate even (in a good way) and just a good person with his charity contributions in particular. His work had a profound impact on so many people. He had a great vision for Vim, knowing what contributions to accept or reject, so Vim remained true to the spirit of the original Vi. Thanks to Bram, Vim is a masterpiece of software, an endless treasure trove of features to discover even after having used it for many years with an exemplary detailed documentation. Vim has fascinated me since I started to use it in 1997. It has shaped my developer's career. I tried to contribute back to Vim to the extent that I could. Bram will be missed. Let's hope that his Vim project continues to live and evolve alongside with neovim. Bedankt Bram voor alles wat je deed. Rust in vrede.
