The ; default binding is very usefull in navigation too. Anyhow you shouldn't need `h` often.. Using b, F, T, ge, gE, ^, 0 is much faster.

In meditation books it's often said one who wants to start meditating should have intention to become a better person otherwise it would make no sense. So to answer you question, I take a guess, it's conscious effort + meditation

1) It seems hard because you didn't learn this way in school. I agree that writing 1 + 2 * 5 is easier than (+ 1 (* 2 5)). It's true for very simple expressions. But as your expression grown you end up (if you haven't forgo

I believe it's just how the human mind works. If you spend a lot of time with somebody(even with the loved ones), you start to want to enjoy some time alone. But after an hour(or a day) without them you want the opposite.

Current state of affairs is understandable. I was answering to the points regarding Esperanto rationale. Then again, there is a lot of grades of "easy" - like 10 months easy vs 5 years easy.

I find English much more suitable for naming programming "objects" then Cyrillic languages. I think it's due to the lack of case system, tendency to short wording and even ability to short these already short words further. I

It's not how the world works. Billions will not wake up at the morning and start doing something new. But it's possible over time. For instance, in Europe place of lingva franca took Latin, then French, then German, then English.
