I found `this article about the origin of VIM <https://twobithistory.org/2018/08/05/where-vim-came-from.html>`__ in my RSS feed the other day. Quite interesting so see where my most-used editor is actually coming from.

Despite its age of more than 50 years (at least for the basic idea of it), it is still blooming and growing and useful as ever.

Even this Blog is being written with it.
