Great! Maybe this will serve as an introduction to terminal editors for people who otherwise stray from the more advanced variety (Emacs, Vim).
But I wish people would stop distributing apps via `curl | bash`. It has a number of pitfalls[0] beyond security (there's a case to be made that it's no worse than the alternative on that metric), like the potential to execute an incomplete script download. We should encourage people to download the script first, or at least wrap logic in a shell function and verify a GPG signature on the payload.
