Vim 25 birthday presentation
[2016-12-14]
On November 2nd I did a presentation about Vim at Google Zurich.
This is exactly 25 years since the first public version of Vim was
built.
The presentation gives an overview of Vim history and highlights the
important choices that were made. With background information on
my personal life and what was the state of computing, the context in
which Vim was developed.
You can find it on Youtube.

Releasing version 8.0 and getting close to the 25th birthday inspired the writing of
this article.
It contains links to relevant info and can be used to convince a friend to start using Vim.
