Zed on Linux is out!
Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

I never understood the need
Vscodium but not running in a browser.
If it can’t run in a terminal, what is the point?
gpu accelerated editor with remote development > terminal editor
There are gpu accelerated terminal emulators... Not sure what you mean by remote development though.
remote development for connecting to a machine without a display server; basically covering the main use case for being constrained to a terminal.
Remote Tunnels in VS Code or JetBrains Gateway for example
I do use a GPU accelerated terminal, but it's still very limited compared to a GUI; they serve different goals.
I like to be just as comfortable coding remotely as I do locally. I have the same setup on my machine & on servers. TUIs are sometimes a better UI/UX since they tend to not come with so much bloat & compatibility with all window managers as well as working great for extremely lightweight, low-latency pairing like the experience provided by upterm. My terminal is also GPU-acceraletd too for performance.
Fair
VScodium is running in the browser. It is electron based.
Zed is native
It's not you who needs it.
It's for buzzword chasers and cost cutters.Rust (=> fast and hip)
Shared (=> outsourced)
AI generated (=> robot devs)Get it?
The Rust hype at least makes sense. The other two are just utter bullshit.
The Rust hype at least makes sense.
In technical context, yes. I'm a Rustacean myself.
In business/marketing context, ...It also makes sense in a business context, because Rust enables memory safety at native speed, and enables building more reliable software due to its strong type system.
Safety and reliability are business critical in many industries.
