Comment on Hacking with Andrew and Brad: an HTTP/2 client in Go [video]parent

Comments

Well, it was Brad's machine, so my vim environment wasn't set up as it is normally. Not really a fair comparison. :-)

Can I modify my comment to say that this presentation changed my mind about Vim because it shows it can coexist with Emacs?

Phew! I thought Acme had ruined you and you were all about that no-syntax highlighting.

What did you use to switch between emacs and vim? It seemed like a quick hot-key.

and you were all about that no-syntax highlighting

He is. He usually does not use syntax highlighting: https://twitter.com/enneff/status/571067872291594240

We were using a shared screen session (you can re-attach to a session with the -x flag), and we had the same files open in both vim and emacs. I was recording my laptop screen and would switch back and forth between my Vim session and Brad's Emacs session. It worked surprisingly well.

Oh, I thought it looked a little plain. ;)
