Vim and Composability

- avmich 11y agoVim and Emacs talks are similar to friendly discussion about virtues of Lisp and APL. Lisp is about universal mechanism to adapt to everything which is lambda, so you can grow it for the task at hand. APL is about carefully complete set of orthogonal primitives which can be combined, so it's "library-less language", harder to extend, focused not on programming but on describing computation itself - using finite universal set of operations. Vim operations are suspiciously reminding those odd operators - verbs, adverbs, conjunctions - of J.
