Vim doesn't load in terminal

Messed with libraries and probably did a whoopsie, tried removing it and installing with pacman, even compiling it, nothing is working.
The error:

[arch-pc@arch-pc ~]$ vim
vim: error while loading shared libraries: libsodium.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How were you "messing" with libraries? What did you do and why?

The direct error is due to the libsodium package not being installed, though that begs the question of what is "vim" in this context, as no vim from the repos depends on libsodium. Or is this a dependency of some vim plugin you've enabled?

That's just a bandage ... you may want to track down the actual issue.
