JSON is the worst name to use in this comic since it fits right in there.

May I introduce you to Neovim? It has Lua. Learn Lua now.
I know Lua. Lua is why I won't use neovim.
It's not so Bad if you don't develope plugins. And vimscript is still there
Or I can use actual Vim (RIP Bram) and have new vimscript, and no Lua.
I love Lua. Can I do anything useful with it?
I don't know a language. Some sort of decision freeze. I've tried Lua, C#, Linux BASH, and Java. I went from learning C# to homelabbing proxmox. I have more success learning IT stuff.
Also I haven't used Vim or Emacs, but I used to rebind ALL of my keys in every game I played. I deeply love keybinding and using the keyboard rather than the mouse.
This is still my favourite vim-related meme. So fucking funny
This feels like me, especially when I have six different splits in a full screen terminal screen between vim and tmux and someone asks how I'm doing that.
I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of "woah are you hacking?"
"How are you doing this?"
"Yes"
At times, I've also juggled (in addition to vim and tmux) hotkeys for my current tiling WM of choice and extra hotkeys to swap between machines via barrier. I'm not sure how I'm able remember what I had for breakfast, much less someone's name.
This is the best vim meme I've ever seen. I'm dead
I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.
Vim is a text editor that works in a command line and therefore doesn't require a graphical interface or windowing system, or anything like a mouse or trackpad or touch interface. It has a whole system of using the keyboard to do a bunch of things really efficiently, but the user has to actively go and learn those keyboard shortcuts, and almost an entire language of how to move the cursor around and edit stuff. It's great once you learn it, so it creates a certain type of evangelist who tries to spread the word.
This meme template is perfect, because the vim user really did learn a bunch of stuff, and then wants to try to convince other people to do the same, using a pretty unpersuasive rationale (not using a mouse while programming).
It's only like that when you've learned them recently. Now I need to learn Rust. You also have to remember a ton of shortcuts in many GUI editors.
That's why i like command pallets. Just fuzzy search the command, and if you do the action a lot bind a key combination.
M-% vim RET emacs RET
100% agree. Emacs macros take much more space.
...but we have org-mode so we can take notes about things like friends and family.
Vim/Neovim has orgmode too, these days 🤪
unfortunately no Jason mode :p
