Vim users are encouraged to make a donation to ICCF
vimhelp.orgDone. VIM and Bram have given me so very much; very happy to support. Looking at Bram's GitHub commit chart for 2023 is haunting (https://github.com/brammool). Thanks for everything Bram; We'll miss you.

Obviously not Bram's charity and his should be the primary focus, but just throwing this out there.

Rich of the richest Kings and Emperors came and went but probably in all known human history - there's not such a selfless and generous movement such as Open Source, of giving away your labour to people you don't even know or would ever know.
For free.

I just donated. Thanks Bram, RIP <3
