An interesting thing about vim is that it came out of the Amiga community, just like clisp.
Rob Landley mentions coming from the Amiga community before Linux came out. ~~http://landley.net/talks/celf-2013.txt~~ Toybox and the whole self-hosting Android project was quite interesting before the CoC. :(
Some random website about writing compilers was made by someone from there too. I find it interesting tgere was another computing culture out there...
Interesting. Actually C++ template programming capability was discovered rather than intentionally created according to some accounts (just joking about them having discovered vim floating around in there too). It's inspiring that other communities may care more about quality and not succumb to CoC.
The CoC's are a new development in the SJW wars, these tactics weren't in play years back.
Not unless you count tactics used to March Through the Institutions. One of those institutions was the Prebysterian Church, or rather similar tactics used before the motto was coined... It's actually closer to how Obama's HUD was conspiring to collect hate-statistics. But all that is OT.
The other computing communities are interesting as an alternative to Linux monoculture.
I ditched the Microsoft world as Win95 debuted and was an OS/2 Warp (Blue Spline) die-hard until moving to Linux in '97. There was a tremendous language & tool set available through the Hobbes ftp site (or Walnut Creek CD-ROM sets for non-connected folks like me). That's where I first encountered vim, which I thought was already pretty mature at the time.
I still regard Warp as probably the best single-user OS that ever existed. Rock-friggin-solid multitasking and I still miss the session-management functionality of the Workplace Shell. Hard to fathom that no one's replicated it on a modern Linux desktop.
Gonna go reminisce about my 35 installation floppies now...

Emacs is better (jk)... they vim was created on purpose more likely its was just discovered as a C++ programming artifact.
