GPUI has a mature scheduling story, letting you “block” the main thread on spawned tasks with async/await. It also comes with a deterministic random test scheduler for driving out …

Wow Brian, nice to hear from you. Thanks very much for your words! I remember you setting a new standard of speed for me when we worked together!

Hey, we're actively working to get in touch with a new lawyer to help us do a better job with this. I agree this isn't cool. I was rushed to get the launch out and didn't review th…

The former Atom team and some new friends are building a new editor over at https://zed.dev . We're using our own Rust-based UI framework instead of Electron so it's really fast, a…

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I screwed it up once and duplicated it through everything. Going to fix it. He was too important to insult by misspelling his name.

We’ve gone to great lengths to abstract out the platform dependencies. Adding a platform right now doesn’t teach us enough for it to be worth it just yet, but we’re seriously plann…

I have always found CRDTs a lot easier to wrap my brain around. Agreed with Joseph that optimizing them is non-trivial. In Teletype for Atom, we indexed fragments in splay trees, a…

I've been interested in them since the early days of Atom, but it's just taken a while for me to develop as an engineer and build a system around the theory that puts them to pract…

We honestly don’t solve it yet, but haven’t found it that big of an issue in practice. Would be curious to see the best resource on it.

Thanks very much!

We embeded a lot of videos for animated diagrams. I think we need to disable autoplay, at least on mobile.

We're quite happy with them. Why do you find them annoying?

Definitely a priority.

"Real real fast"

We're pure Rust and hopefully faster. But yeah, plenty of competition in the space!

Our goal is to build something substantially better than VS Code.

We plan to start blogging about this pretty soon.

This would only be for the web. Right now we're macOS only and target Metal.

We just wanted to be pure Rust and have complete control.

Thanks very much!

Earlier this year Keith Simmons, the author of Neovide ( https://github.com/neovide/neovide ), joined our team. He's been working on Vim bindings and paying a lot of attention to g…

When we started on Zed the Rust UI framework space was much younger. In absence of a mature solution that met our exact needs, the simplest path for us was to build it ourselves. W…

Here's a demo from a talk a give not too long ago: https://youtu.be/wXT73bBr83s?list=PL3TSF5whlprXqwYNIM0X8mBzu...

We do have plans. Stay tuned!
