Meanwhile, Rob Pike uses Acme and hates syntax highlighting. As comfortable as I am with Vim, he's probably right. An editor that makes it easy to write more code can be counterproductive when the actual goal is to write less of it.

This looks really good. I was a major fan of Coda, but I’ve been disappointed with Nova, so I’m looking for something else. The fact that this isn’t saddled with subscription pricing is a huge plus. I don’t even consider software I can’t own; $24.99 as a one-time payment with a year of updates is more than fair.
Hi everyone! I'm the lead developer of Zas Editor. I wanted to share some details about the editor you might be interested in. The text-storage data structure, syntax highlighting and search features are written in Rust, and the UI is written in Swift since we wanted to create a native macOS experience. The Swift and Rust code talk to each other using C FFI, and no, that doesn’t take away the safety features of both…
If it is to stay macOS only, also a possible decision not everything needs to be cross platform, why bring Rust into the picture?

This is one of the reasons I like JetBrains subscription service. Even if you stop paying, you get a fallback license that updates every year (I believe); so you have perpetual access to their product, even if slightly out of date.
Considering not even terminals are safe from phoning home telemetry.
You guys are charging for this, how much telemetry is the app sending home?
Wish you guys all the luck.

I am coding since 1986 and definitely don't share his opinion.
I'm pretty sure there is a huge group of jetbrains customers who like tight, fast executables and would switch to this editor if it had a working auto import and type checking/autocomplete feature for Python. At least an attempt at autocomplete for js would be a bonus.
I use VSCode, but it weirdly forgets how to tab-shift things over, and/or forgets how backspace works. (I just close/reopen and it's fine again.)
