Emacs still blocks input on simple things like package updates though.
Give straight.el (among others) a shot. Combined with use-package you don’t have to worry about that these days.

People are asking what settings would be useful to tweak. Check out the following: - gcmh -package and gcmh-mode and/or gc-cons-threshold variable (former should take over the latter) - read-process-output-max - jit-lock-defer-time - package-native-compile Doom Emacs sets gcmh in its initialization so tweaking that might not be needed there. You may still want to touch gcmh-high-cons-threshold and gcmh-idle-delay-fac…
The thing about gc-cons-threshold is that, too low a value and it will collect garbage too frequently. While a high value will drastically reduce frequency, but then GC pause will be big and you will likely feel whole system freeze and stutter when it happens. For me, 1GB is too high because I sorta notice the pause, I set it to 32MB but completely disable GC when minibuffer is active: (defun my-minibuffer-setup-hook…
If I do inline attribution you mind if I borrow that under MIT?

Heard of Helix? It's a bit more Vim to Zed's VSCode, but it's open source and Rust too! It also comes with rust-analyzer and tree-sitter included. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
Helix doesn't have a plugin system: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/122

I’m doing different heap sizes during package load, but I don’t have the mini buffer hook and in retrospect, I feel dumb. If I do inline attribution you mind if I borrow that under MIT?
I wish we had a proper API to interact with copilot but it seem that pulling everyone else except the dedicated VIM and JetBrains users into VSCode land seems to be more in their interest.

I'm running it just fine on 10.14.
During the closed beta, the requirements said the minimum was 10.15, and I tried to download it and run it anyway and it wouldn't run. Did you have to build it from source?
It's interesting that the #2 selling point on the landing page (the Copilot integration) relies purely on Microsoft's goodwill. There is no official API for Copilot but instead a (non-standard) LSP implementation embedded into the proprietary Copilot Neovim plugin. Zed seems to trust under the hood that a release of the plug-in exists on Github, pulls the minified-js language server from there and integrates with tha…
Microsoft doesn't care if you use copilot with VSCode or not. Copilot is a paid product the more support the better for them.
I bet Microsoft doesn't care if you use VSCode or not. It's not a paid product.
I'm generally a big fan of zed and have been using it for 60%ish of my dev time for 6 months or so. A couple of nice things to note: - It really is remarkably responsive,and makes one really notice how UNresponsive everything else is. I have reasonably fast machines, so we're not talking about the difference between 5ms typing lag and 500ms, but it's still pretty surprising. VSCode never felt slow on my macs until I…
I’m really picky about my tools in general and latency in particular, and I give Zed a spin from time to time, it’s sweet. Clean, minimal design aesthetic, tree-sitter, tight code, it’s a nice bit of work and I dig it a lot. But emacs 29 with the right flags and a tuned GC (no one does this! it’s got a heap-size from the 80s!) is just as snappy and has more amazing packages than VSCode. There’s a market for people wh…
