I'd just like to point out to the vim curios Emacs users lurking in here (hi guys, you will succumb eventually) that he doesn't mean the R programming language. Definitely nobody uses that, true. And we aren't going to make y

Awesome as always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lHqEwk7YHs Did the patent expire yet? Would you consider releasing the code? It sounds of historical significance and an interesting doom-like read.
