**Thorsten Ball:** \[01:03:56.10\] The thing is that the topics of syntax highlighting long lines in Vim - this is right at the top of my "This needs to get fixed, I can't deal with this any longer." Because I have a meltdown every five weeks where I realize it's 2016 and my text editor can't colorize a line because it...
**Erik St. Martin:** We can put supercomputers in our pocket, but you cannot figure out what I meant in my string!
**Thorsten Ball:** Yeah, and my colleagues in the office are laughing at me. They have Sublime Text open and it's super fast, and I actually can't mention this because they're gonna laugh at me. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** You have to just sit quietly in your misery, because it will only get worse if you share it with others.
**Thorsten Ball:** Yeah, I was shaking my fist there and biting my lips... \[laughs\]
**Erik St. Martin:** Like, "What's wrong?" "Nothing... All is well."
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, we need to move on. We are running long, and Carlisia and I both have school functions we need to leave for in... Fifteen minutes ago. \[laughter\] So we should move on to \#FreeSoftwareFriday quickly.
**Erik St. Martin:** Go ahead. Do you wanna go first?
**Brian Ketelsen:** Me?
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I love going first.
**Erik St. Martin:** You brought it up.
**Brian Ketelsen:** You brought it up, it's your world, baby. Alright, so I wanna shout out to Buffalo Web Framework by Mark Bates. The website is at gobuffalo.io and it's not even done yet, so he's probably gonna kill me for bringing it up live, but it brought love back to web development in Go for me. Now, I know a l...
**Erik St. Martin:** We'll just claim that we sent everybody there to look at the really awesome logo.
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] Yeah, shout out to Ashley McNamara for making killer Gopher logos.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I've been looking at a lot of her work lately... Awesome. How about you, Carlisia?
**Carlisia Thompson:** I don't have one, but I am laughing at the logo, it's amazingly cute. I don't have a project today.
**Erik St. Martin:** And I don't know whether we prepped you on this in the email, Thorsten, but typically every show we kind of just do a shout out to a project that's making our lives easier. So if you have one, awesome; if you don't...
**Thorsten Ball:** I have a shout out, and I promise you, I thought of this before this show. My shout out goes to the Vim Go plugin by Fatih Arslan. It's amazing, it kind of turns Vim into a lightweight IDE, because there's so much functionality in it. Five versions ago I thought, "This is it, it's done. Feature compl...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, it's funny... I agree with you. It was a few versions ago where I'm like, "Sweet, this has everything I need." Then he adds new stuff and you're like, "I didn't even think about that."
**Thorsten Ball:** Right.
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:07:51.09\] So I actually have a cool project that I came across that I've only really tinkered with, but it's called gitQL; we've been talking about Git... It's like a query language to query against your Git history, which is actually pretty awesome. You can do a "select author" and whatever ...
**Carlisia Thompson:** And it's written in Go.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it is. I just made an alias in Bash, so when I type git blame, it just runs ID -u-n.
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** That was a bad Linux joke, sorry. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** We have to explain that that returns back...
**Brian Ketelsen:** That just gives me my username back.
**Erik St. Martin:** It would be less confusing if you just replaced that with whoami. \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** You're the blame for everything... Even if it wasn't directly, it's indirectly.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yup.
**Carlisia Thompson:** But this tool is really cool.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, gitQL is pretty awesome.
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so I think we are about 10 or 12 minutes over, and I know everybody kind of has some functions to get to, so we are gonna go ahead and wrap up the show. Everybody, happy holidays! For two weeks we're gonna not have episodes, just to kind of close down for the holidays while everybody spend...
I wanna thank everybody on the show, definitely thank you, Thorsten, for coming on the show and talking about interpreters and compilers and all that good stuff...
**Thorsten Ball:** Thank you for inviting me, it was a pleasure. This was really fun.
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's a great show.
**Erik St. Martin:** Huge shout out to all our listeners, especially the ones that are hanging out with us in the GoTimeFM channel on Slack; huge shout out to our sponsors, Backtrace and StackImpact - without them, we would not have a show. So everybody go check out their sites and products; we only work with awesome p...
Follow us on Twitter @GoTimeFM, github.com/GoTimeFM/ping if you wanna be on the show or have questions for our guests. With that, goodbye everybody and happy holidays!
**Brian Ketelsen:** Happy Gophermas! Happy holiday!
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[laughs\] Happy holidays, bye!
**Thorsten Ball:** Bye!
**Brian Ketelsen:** Bye!
