7like this editor and wanted to write something here that will remind me to use
8it again in a while when/if it becomes available for Linux.<p><strong>TLDR:</strong> I think this code editor is very cool and has a massive potential. I
9hope they don’t mess up with adding a plugin ecosystem to it!<p>Out of morbid curiosity, I started using the <a href=https://zed.dev/>Zed editor</a> on
10my Mac. Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor developed by the
11creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. Written in Rust so it has to be blazingly
12fast! 😊 It's a joke, calm down.<p>Over the past year, I have switched between <a href=https://helix-editor.com/>Helix
13editor</a> and <a href=https://code.visualstudio.com/>VS
14Code</a>, but for the last couple of months, I have
15been using Helix exclusively.<p>I've been genuinely impressed by Zed. When you open a file, it automatically
16detects its type and downloads the corresponding <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Server_Protocol>LSP (language
17server)</a>. The list of
18supported languages is not extensive, but it's still impressive. It's a great
19example of how to create a product that stays out of your way.<p><img src="/assets/zed/zed-1.png?style=bigimg" alt="Zed editor"><p>For C development it downloaded <a href=https://clangd.llvm.org/>clangd</a> and setting
20up missing dependencies in code was rather easy. For this project I use
21<a href=https://www.libsdl.org/>SDL2</a> for rendering terminal emulator. It’s a hobby
22project, don’t worry about it.<p>If you are going to give this a try and you are using C, I suggest checking two
23files in the root of your project folder. If you don't have them, create them.<p><strong>compile_flags.txt</strong><pre><code>-I/opt/homebrew/include
24-I/opt/homebrew/include/SDL2
25</code></pre><p>Easy way of checking what the appropriate includes for a specific library is to
26use <code>pkg-config</code> and in my case <code>pkg-config SDL2 --cflags-only-I</code>. But this is
27nothing new to C/C++ devs. Just a noter for people who are using Visual Studio.<p><strong>.clang-format</strong><pre><code>ColumnLimit: 220
28BasedOnStyle: Mozilla
29</code></pre><p>I prefer Mozilla coding style for C so you can set that up.<p>They really have something special here. Although there is no version available
30for Linux yet, I will stick to Helix. This impressive piece of engineering is,
31above all, an amazing example of craftsmanship.<p>They have a bunch of amazing integrated functionalities like live desktop
32sharing, code sharing in a live coding session. There is a lot of pretentious
33marketing speak there but the product is still amazing!<p>For me the speed and the simplicity of the product was the most impressive
34thing. You get that: it just works feeling. A rare thing in 2023.<p><img src="/assets/zed/zed-2.png?style=bigimg" alt="Zed editor"><p>They also managed to add <a href=https://github.com/features/copilot>Github Copilot</a>
35in a non obtrusive way. To me, everything feels very intentional and
36specifically selected. It's minimal yet maximally effective.<p><video src=https://zed.dev/img/post/copilot/copilot-demo.webm autoplay loop></video><p>It is a perfect balance between VS Code, Jetbrains IDE’s and something like VIM
37or Helix.<p>I just hope they <strong>DON’T</strong> add plugin support and keep it like it is. They as a
38vendor should add stuff to it with great deliberation and thought. And this way
39the product will stay fast and focused. That’s my two cents.<p>Amazing job!</div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at
