I wouldn’t have taken this project seriously without the byline on this post of Drew DeVault. Glad he’s doing ok.

I remember talking to him a lot on #minecraft on freenode over a decade ago.

I'm not a fan of him, but I'm still glad he picked up this.

Just take a gander on the recent issues listed here, and how completely unavoidable they are: https://github.com/vim/vim/security

I hoped the people that wanted neovim features would've stuck to neovim instead of pushing vim to accelerate, but it seems like free LLM tokens made it a bit too tempting.

edit: I'm regarded, I misread your post, ignore me.
