But I thought Zed was dead, honey…
How in the world can you support iOS release, but not Linux? For a TEXT editor with very little graphical layer.
Firstly, you mean macOS. Secondly, the graphical APIs are completely different, and even then macOS uses BSD userland.
From their FAQ:
##What platforms does Zed support?
As of now, we only support macOS.
We are a small team, so it’s critical for us to be laser-focused. As a startup, one of our key priorities at this early phase is learning, and right now, we’re focused on the following questions:
- What are the key features we need to get traction on any platform?
- Are our assumptions about our eventual business model valid?
While we’d love to support users on Linux and Windows, adding those platforms doesn’t really help us answer those questions. We’re investing a lot to make Zed portable, but adding other platforms comes with opportunity cost in the short-term and maintenance overhead going forward. Right now those costs don’t make sense for us.
As Zed matures on a single platform, this cost/benefit ratio will shift, and it will make sense to expand to other platforms. We hope you’ll give it a try when that happens.
As a general timeframe, you can expect us to begin work on supporting these platforms after Zed is open source, but before version 1.0. Any news will be posted to our platform-tracking issues.
Linux support is listed on their roadmap.
No Java/Kotlin yet? And its biggest selling point seems to be the AI integration? Well that’s a hard pass then for my company and work environment.
The only good thing to come from this new editor so far is the frank statement by the original Atom Developers (who invented Electron, just to run Atom) admitted that Electron is not a good solution for a code editor, because who in the heck wants to edit their code in a web browser anyway.
Now we just need to convince the devs of Keybase and Obsidian the same.
Well, looking at how popular VSCode is, looks like people don’t mind the web browser thing
I was wondering what could happened with Atom. Nice to see it died to reincarnate into a powerful IDE.
I thought it was killed for VSCode since they ended up under the same umbrella.
Because it was.
Unless this is a drop-in replacement for vim, I don’t wanna hear about it!
How can you tell if someone uses vim? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you about it.
zed has always been open source. Seems that you are just trying to squat its name, am I right?
120 stars… not exactly a common household name. Meanwhile zed the editor has 12k stars, gaining or losing 120 wouldn’t even register. Your comment is delusional
It is common that libraries have fewer stars than end user apps. Especially if they never spammed in communities.
The reasons why almost nobody has heard of them don’t matter, the point is that nobody has heard of them - meaning they have no fame to steal or popularity to piggy back off of
