Bram Moolenaar's family
Bram devoted nearly half of his life to Vim and made great contributions to the open source community.
At the same time, he is also a philanthropist, sponsoring Ugandan children.
Father of Vim
Bram Moolenaar is a Dutch programmer well known in the free software world.
He is the original developer of vim software, software version manager, and is regarded as a benevolent dictator for life.
Bram first came into contact with vi when he was in college.
In 1988, he purchased an Amiga computer. He was familiar with vi, which hadn't been ported to the Amiga at the time, so he tested several vi clones, including Stevie.
Bram then took Stevie's source code and improved it.
In order to match vi, he finally added some additional functions, such as undoing multi-level operations. Thus, the first version of "Vi IMitation" was released in 1988 on a public disk made by Fred Fish.
Some users port Vim to other platforms such as MS-DOS and Unix. In version 1.22 in 1992, Vi IMitation was officially renamed "Vi IMproved".
As a freelancer for a long time, he develops free software full-time at home and uses e-mail communication as the main external communication channel.
In August 2010, Bram was hired by Google's Zurich office. He spends part of his time maintaining Vim outside of work.
Bram mainly uses freeBSD as a development platform. In addition, he created AAP and the programming language Zimbu, and assisted in the development of CAcert.
He is a member of NLUUG, the Dutch Unix software community. In 2008, he won the NLUUG Award for his contributions to free software and Vim.
Some time ago, the deceased Left Ear Mouse also wrote an article about Vim leveling strategy.

Vim has won several awards and is known as one of the most popular text editors. Vim is also open source and charity software.
Bram is an advocate for ICCF Holland, an NGO for AIDS victims based in Kibaale, Uganda.
In 1994, he volunteered as a water and sanitation engineer at the Kibaale Children's Centre.
He raised an estimated $2000 for ICCF Holland in 1997 and $4000 a year later. In 1999, donations totaled approximately $7,000.
Netizens have remembered
Almost all developers who learn to code have been exposed to Vim.
After Bram passed away, many netizens used Vim to post condolences.

Say goodbye to Bram Moolenaar, the genius behind the beloved Vim text editor. Vim's seminal influence on coding, and his legacy will live on forever. He is a visionary programmer and an influential open source advocate.
Vim was the first editor I fell in love with and one of the most inspiring open source projects in existence. While it's not my primary editor these days, I've never stopped using it and still maintain my .vimrc.
The creator of Vim, one of the best free and open source developers of our time. Your legacy will live on forever, but your humility and kindness in sharing it will remain unmatched.
Today is a very sad day. Bram Moolenaar, the creator of Vim, has passed away. I feel like I'm a programmer who grew up with vim. We will miss him greatly.
Bram is a great example of an open source supporter. The impact his Vim had on software development and system administration cannot be overestimated. We will miss him greatly.
Bram Moolenaar, thank you for bringing us Vim, to everyone who uses your software every day, and to those who have had the opportunity to contribute to making the best programming editor/open source project ever created.
