Here is a message from his family
:%s/is/was/g:wq:(
I probably owe that man a good part of my living. Proof that even gods are mortal
Great words. He may be gone now but he’s got all us nerds in here thanking him and pondering the good ol days where his passion helped so many. Shit could be our eulogy from lemmy.
Pretty much any program I use I try to shift over to vim style keys. This guy’s reach went far beyond vim to me.
That’s very sad to hear. Bram had a significant impact on me and how I use my computer. Rust zacht, Bram.
R.I.P. Bram.
I use VIm every day, I enjoy using it, I am still in awe when discovering stuff, still after 17y!
This news hit me hard this morning. Bram’s work has directly benefited my career for decades. He was a good human being who did good things. RIP Bram
RIP Bram Moolenaar, and my condolences to his family
Rest in peace, Bram Moolenaar! Thank you for your work, I use vim every day.
He has left his mark in a way that few are able to
RIP and thanks for all the hard work I’ve benefited from over the last decade.
I’ll think of this man while explaining vim to my new hire next week.
We as family are now arranging the funeral service of Bram which will take place in The Netherlands and will be held in the Dutch lanuage. The extact date, time and place are still to be determined.
Hmm.
Why hmm?
They couldn’t be bothered to proofread the letter. It’s somewhat disrespectful
Clearly English isn’t the first language of the writer. How disrespectful to invite members of the community to his funeral services indeed.
So being Dutch means you can’t use spellcheck or get someone else to double-check? My native language is Afrikaans, which is 95% Dutch, but my social media posts are still more thorough than this announcement
This isn’t a tweet. It’s announcing someone’s death
Or they don’t speak English very well because they’re Dutch
In my experience, Dutch speak better English than most people from the US.
Good grief
