At the beginning of 2024, I ragequit reading about Psion’s proprietary Object Oriented C.

This was unexpected, but I should have seen it coming.

Near the end of the previous November, I made an announcement on social media. I was going to start working on a new word processor for Psion’s 16-bit portable machines. I’d been working on Psion-related projects since September 2018, focusing on the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Writing a replacement for Psion Word was one of the first ideas I’d had. So, as I’d spent the latter half of 2023 bouncing between projects and never quite settling, I decided that now was the time. It was to be called Vine, a nod to both the codename of the Psion Siena and the Vi-like bindings I was hoping to include in its feature set.
