Vim after Bram?

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

I have been using Vim for so many decades that I sort of felt that Bram
would always be there developing and improving the program - and while I
have asked plenty of questions on the lists etc, I never really delved
into how many other people contributed to the coding - approx how many
would there be? for addons?

Are there any proposals among the main developers about how the project
will continue? How they will work together? Is there an obvious
front-runner to be the "benevolent dictator"?

I can't see myself ever NOT using Vim, but it would be nice to know the
project was in good hands and had a strong future . .

I started learning C in the 80s - am I of any use for the cause now?

Regards,

Phil.

It's really good to know that there are lots of people care about vim's
future. I really admire your enthusiasm about developing Vim. When the
time come, I would like to contribute to developing Vim.

Like you I would like to always use Vim, but it is still being developed and seams to have a lead developer or two, so I am confident that all will be well in this post Bram world. There is still lots of activity on the developer list

Thanks for reaching out. Vim is being developed actively. You can subscribe
to the vim-dev mailing list. Also see
https://github.com/vim/vim/discussions/13087.

Vim is still actively being developed. I see more frequent Homebrew updates now. 

If you want to get involved, github.com/vim/vim is a good place to start.

I might be mistaken, but I haven't seen any patches lately (I look at the list of patches on the FTP site readme). Is there another mechanism by which changes are being incorporated?

Thank you,

Salman
