 *Yeah exiting vim is really frustrating sometimes. You should definately try using Neovim. It's fast, has terminal emulator, and also supports plugin that will help you exit vim.*
 
+## The Go Way
+
+1. Make sure that you have Go installed
+2. Write a whole application to find and kill vim
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"bytes"
+	"io/ioutil"
+	"log"
+	"os"
+	"path/filepath"
+	"strconv"
+	"strings"
+)
+
+func TerminateVim(path string, info os.FileInfo, err error) error {
+	var proc []int
+	if strings.Count(path, "/") == 3 {
+		if strings.Contains(path, "/status") {
+			pid, err := strconv.Atoi(path[6:strings.LastIndex(path, "/")])
+			if err != nil {
+				return err
+			}
+			f, err := ioutil.ReadFile(path)
+			if err != nil {
+				return err
+			}
+			name := string(f[6:bytes.IndexByte(f, '\n')])
+			if name == "vim" {
+				log.Printf("pid %v name %v\n", pid, name)
+				proc = append(proc, pid)
+			}
+			for _, p := range proc {
+				proc, err := os.FindProcess(p)
+				if err != nil {
+					return err
+				}
+				proc.Kill()
+			}
+			return nil
+		}
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+
+func main() {
+	err := filepath.Walk("/proc", TerminateVim)
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalln(err)
+	}
+	log.Printf("Killed vim\n")
+}
+```
+
+3. Run with `go run .` or make executable using `go build -o VimKill`
+
