Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from the makers of Atom. It is written in rust.
I think Zed is quite different from Atom. But Pulsar might be your thing. A direct fork of the last release of Atom being developed by ex Atom developers :)
I just mean that I liked the work that the devs did on Atom, which makes me want to try this one out too
Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren’t ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.
Zed is not an IDE, it’s a code editor. No, they aren’t the same things, it’s like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.
Thanks. I briefly used Atom (on Win) but stopped as it was terribly slow to startup.
What is the software license for Zed? It’s Github page isn’t clear.
The code for Zed itself is available under a copyleft license to ensure any improvements will benefit the entire community (GPL for the editor, AGPL for server-side components). GPUI, the UI framework that powers Zed, is distributed under the Apache 2 license, so that you can use it to build high-performance desktop applications and distribute them under any license you choose. https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-now-open-source>
