How JSON was born
ahas been squashed
Vim keybindings aren’t memorization as much as they are muscle memory.
So true- I was talking to someone about vim the other day and wanted to tell them the keybinding for something I use daily, but had no idea what it was without a keyboard there for reference.
RIP Bram Moolenaar
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 like my arrays starting from 0 thank you
I like my arrays iterable, that’s all I need to know. No matter if the index is 0, 1, ‘foo’, or a serialized array (oh wait, no, that’s PHP).
That’s not an array, that’s a string.
Someone is converting an array to a string and is using that as key.A lot of languages could do it, and none of them should.
You must be fun at parties.
At LAN parties 😎😎
Every LAN party has at least one public FTP available that is called “my ass” and at least one person yells “Put that in my ass!”.

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.
I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.
You may enjoy Vim Adventures to get some context - and it’s pretty fun. It teaches the wild and powerful keybindings for the Vim text editor, but in the form of an online typing game.
Vim Adventures is cool, but you can’t get very far into it without a subscription. PacVim is free and also effective at teaching some Vim commands.
That’s awesome! Thanks!
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).
This is the best vim meme I’ve ever seen. I’m dead
Speaking of, can anyone recommend an AutoHotKey alternative for Linux on Wayland?
Thank you!
There’s also autokey, similar to autohotkey but with Python. I haven’t had to use it for much but I didn’t have any issues when I used it for some RuneScape autogrinding
I juat use Plasma’s custom shortcuts, works really well.
I laughed way too hard at this 😂
That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?
There’s just not a lot of content lol
Had this been emacs it would have been funny. But with Vim you don’t remember key bindings. Vim has operations and motions. Few od each and they are combined.
No, not really. People say that Emacs is self-documenting for a reason. You only need to remember how to ask Emacs for information, whatever that information may be. Commands, key bindings, manuals, etc.
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 🤪
I felt a pang of regret in reading this - about the grain of truth for it in my life.
I’ve filed that pang of regret in an appropriate text file for consideration later.
unfortunately no Jason mode :p
