Well, where?
(feddit.uk)
emacs ofc. I'm sure there's an emacs implementation of heaven
More like heaven implementation within emacs, so you don't even leave emacs in your second life
There are definitely at least 9 circles of emacs filled with tormented souls.
that's what I mean
Im going to vim heaven :3
Just give me nano, I can't be bothered to fuck with emacs or vim.
use micro, it's 1000x better
Thanks, I'll check it out
Edit: did I just fall for an si prefix joke?
It's a joke, but it's a real editor
The SI prefix thing stems from a joke anyway. Allow me to trot out the etymology again:
Once upon a time in the 1980s, there was created a program for reading ELectronic Mail called Elm.
Someone created a rival mail reader called Pine, which followed both the tree pun as well as the fact it was a recursive acronym: "Pine is not Elm".
Pine had an editor called the Pine Composer or Pico for short. Pico is both a typographical term as well as an SI unit. They may have been going for both. Too perfect a pun to pass up, perhaps.
Due to licensing uncertainty, someone else created a from-scratch clone of Pico called Nano, cementing the continuation of puns, but in the SI direction.
And then apparently someone else has decided to get on the bandwagon with Micro.
Emacs is real whether you like it or not.
(Also I go past one of these billboards about once a week, and I've always been so curious about how many calls they get. Or what they say when you call. I should get a Google voice number and check it out.)
vim for the win!
I'll try emacs as soon as I find something that isn't already perfect with vi
Well surely vi could be improved, otherwise we wouldn't have vim?
Then the question becomes, "did neovim go to far?" :D
