Learning Vim – (via @AstonJ)
Also there’s a great theme here (Theme now lives here).
sashaafm
Great @AstonJ, I’m going to use yours
Unfortunately, the Elixir Vim theme doesn’t seem very good.
AstonJ
Yeah I love that theme. If I’m able to figure it out, I will try to port it to Spacemacs, and then maybe Elixirfy it (for Vim too)
