Using vim with Golang | Infinite Digits

| | Vim is a console-based text editor that has been around for 27 years (actually its a clone from vi that is 43 years old). Today, people still use and enjoy Vim. Vim is not so bad when it comes to writing, but when it comes to coding there are arguably much sleeker GUI-based tools like Sublime, Visual Code, Atom, IntelliJ, etc. And yet, as of 2018 there were still 17% of people using vim with Go, although that number as been in decline. This is particularly surprising to me because vim lacks a lot of useful GUI features (minimap, easy navigation between files). Also surprising Golang is becoming more popular even though it is not free (and quite expensive).

Migrating from vim to neovim by Eric Lathrop
24.5 parsecs away

Travel
| I've finally gotten around to migrating to neovim. When it comes to tech, I don't always migrate to the new shiny thing because sometimes it's buggy or turns out to be the wrong choice. I'm especially conservative with respect to the tools I use daily. I can't afford the time spent on them not working.
