Bram Moolenaar, the creator of the widely respected Vim code editor, has passed away at the age of 62. The family announced his passing in a heartfelt Google Groups message on August 5, revealing a sudden progression of a medical condition that had afflicted him.
He advertised his charity on every release, I’m sure they’d appreciate donations in his honor.

He seemed very passionate about this cause and it would be a wonderful way to honor him if you’ve enjoyed using vim. I donated a few dollars a few years back and he wrote me a personal thank you email, which was unexpected. Sad to hear this news. :(
