    I would imagine his family knows his direct impact at least somewhat but I wonder if they know how many lives have been changed by what was written with the tools Bram gave us. This one really unexpectedly hit me as aside from using vim, I’ve had zero interaction with Bram. But vim is such a big part of my life that I found myself tearing up a bit even though I was in the gym when I saw the news.
