The best editor you've never heard of. 

Standard Apple fanboys leaving that out.

I mean, if you use only 1 platform you tend to forget it.

And do you think the Linux community would allow that ?

@@stayhome8342 ofc not lmfao

If you're a developer mac is so much faster to compile. It's not even close. It used to take me 23-25 mins to compile Hybris on a beefy gaming Windows machine, it's 3.5mins on M1 mac, 6 mins on Intel. Node frontend builds are much faster too. Worth the investment for that alone.

Yeah, I can't take a code editor seriously if it isn't cross-platform.

they're working on the linux version, you can actually compile a build for linux and it kinda works, it does crash from time to time but it's not horrible. would still use vscode for now though.

95%? Every company I've ever worked at as a software engineer was comprised of like 99% macbooks

Exactly!!

Yeah, I actually knew about Zed prior to this video. I watched hoping for something more I may not understand, but I ended up just thinking that I'm right where I should be with vim

You are wrong, though I hate the that it's mac only, but I tried it on my friends MacBook, and it's was fast and snappy, and it's supports auto complete, debugging, other basic lsp features, it's build using rust and tree sitter. It's having a memory footprint that vscode could only dream of. Yeah it's not a toy project.

On github they said they have a project to make it open source soon.

It is open source now

it's opensource and Linux support is planned for this year

Not yet available! This ties into the whole extensibility thing :)

which is better? zed or this

Davinci resolve :)

@@evanzhoudev what sort of plugins do you use? Can you share your workflow?

I think they’re referring to GUI editors, but of course vim and nvim are fast choices :)

@@evanzhoudev GVim exists and is a great choice if someone wants to use a GUI.

even jetbrains is faster on a good machine.. basically zed is another one of those companies which will soon hang up a notice saying, we are stopping development because the vc money is over

@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 I do not believe this is true. Perhaps something that I wasn’t clear about in the video is that Zed is built by the same people as Atom, and they mean for Zed to be the successor to Atom. Thus, they have plenty of potential. Additionally, not everyone has a “good machine”… even some jb IDEs are decently slow on my Apple Silicon MacBook

@@evanzhoudev isnt zed vc funded?

No one cares, actually

@@hrqmonteiro lol, you have no idea.

That’s actually great, now just waiting for Linux support and I’d try it out! :)

This.

I agree completely. It's weird how much it's ignored vs vscode.

Eww, flatpak

You are not everyone.

Without support on things other than Mac, its not going to be a serious competitior.

if you found out how to fix this please update it here, i am facing the same issue

I hope not. Love hearing broke windows users cry

@@namenlos4374 might be the dumbest comment i've read, my windows pc cost more than my m2 mac.

0.0001 of time spent is spent on opening…

Could always be added in future updates!

@@evanzhoudev If they manage to implement it well i will probably use it as my daily driver.(I’m trying out anyway though).

​@@TheBurntHoney I never understood why people want debuggers? I get it that it may be convinient sometimes, but the way I write code is so that if there is an error on production, I should be able to get all the information I need from the logs

I don’t think there is debugging yet, but there is an integrated terminal, from which you can do nearly everything that’s missing :)

Could link or point out how to debug e.g Python Code using just the shell? I could find any straight forward instructions.

Vim works on linux.

Yeah, the speed thing struck me too... If 350ms is fast then I don't know which adjective is suitable for Neovim. Not to mention that Neovim has potentially an infinite amount of more features with its plugin system. And it's cross-platform... And it's open-source... Even VScode has those things... Well, Zed is interesting in some ways, but it seems very far to be a viable alternative to anything at the moment.

@@LudoTechWorld Yes the only way VScode comes even close to neovim is due to the sheer amount of plugins it provides which will never be the case for Zed and in terms of speed it will also never be able to compete with Neovim so it is very far right now from finding a middle ground between these 2 metrics. Not to discredit that Neovim has a lot of plugins too now and they don't also effect the speed of the IDE due to lazy loading and well written lua scripts rather than using Node and Javascript. I did write my own plugin for neovim and honestly it was quite straightforward and works perfectly for me.

🙋‍♂️I know! (One Dark Pro, my favorite theme and the only one I use!)

Ohh great is it a paid theme ?

If you’d watched to the end, you’d know ;)

I did switch to Zed about 7 weeks ago :) I had a journey of Visual Studio -> JetBrains -> VS Code until this year. And then I started experimenting trying Neovim and Helix and some other options. Modal editors are cool and fun, but my wrists hurt terribly after just 3-4 days using neovim full time. Ergonomic keyboards didn't solve this problem for me, so I've resumed my search for a new editor. I did not want to go back to VS Code, just for the reason that I've already been there. So I came across Zed, tried it and loved it. My primary issues about Zed are: - No integration with test frameworks at the moment. - No debugger at the moment. - Automatic indentation is not convenient. It stubbornly adds offsets where they don't belong. But all of those are not show-stoppers for me. I rarely used debugger in VS Code (once in 2 months perhaps), so if I occasionally have to debug from console, it does not bother me at all.

It's my main editor. I think it's pretty well supported. Updates keep coming and the popular plugins stay up to date too.

No, unfortunately not… a feature I’m personally waiting for too! CLI is great for some things, but I prefer using GUI for commits and merging lol

@@evanzhoudev me too, i asked for the facility with merge conflicts or similar problems, but thx for the answer :)

it is compiled for arch AUR, but support is not here yet. Package is just not woring as intended.

It has vim mode built-in

it does

Probably because it's built in rust. Dogfooding and all that.

Its on the AUR.

it should be one dark pro i suppose

SF Mono

I use Monaspace Neon now, switched from CascadyaCove :)

Just give it some time. They really do plan to support other systems.

32GB?!

As a devoted Mac user, I’ve never seen a problem with Mac only apps 😅

@@evanzhoudev well I cant really use a Mac, and i don't understand why they used metal instead of vulkan, like metal isn't easier or anything

And also closed source as I can see.

@@evanzhoudev based on Stackoverflow suveys, Mac has the smallest user base among developers so making it Mac only severely limits the amount of exposure it can get.

⁠@@eineatombombemetal is far easier than Vulkan when building on Mac.
