Nathan Sobo recently open-sourced Zed, a code editor that focuses on performance, integrates AI capabilities, and supports software teams’ collaboration out of the box. For performance, Zed leverages a Rust code base, multicore- and GPU-optimized code, with a custom Rust GUI framework. For collaboration, Zed relies on CRDTs and team channels. Zed is currently Mac only.
How did Zed get so much publicity? Do they happen to have a lot of funding or something? I’ve seen a million of these posts and I’m just really uninterested, as does a big portion of comments I see.
