I didn't see the intro at first and was very worried there for a second. Yikes. But thumbs up for VIM requirement. Because, you know, nobody is an actual developer unless the specifically use vim on arch.

And you missed cmatrix github.com/abishekvashok/cmatrix

Lo del IDE oscuro, ayuda muchísimo. Al menos el light... Perfecto para saturar ojos.

Ahh
Un chico espanol escribio un comentario en mi poste.
Yes, it actually helps the eyes. It is impossible to write codes on a light theme.
