Welcome back home.

Part of the case for Emacs and Vim has always been that they make you faster at writing and editing code. The keybindings, the macros, the extensibility – all of it is in service of making the human more efficient at the mechanical act of coding. — Emacs and Vim in the Age of AI

My Neovim configuration has been stable for over a year. I hardly ever touch it anymore, except to correct a few unnecessary bindings or fix some deprecations following API changes. And guess what: Treesitter has been revamped, full of incompatible changes in the main branch on GitHub. Treesitter-textobjects also switched from the master to the main branch, leaving incremental selection orphan. I’ll keep my current config for the time being, I’m too lazy today, but in the light of this issue, I brew pin neovim at 0.11.6. #vim

Maybe I’ll need to install OpenBSD to give it a bit of a boost, but I’m afraid I will loose wireless connectivity and current graphics capabilities. #apple
