Good start! I have nothing to add to this discussion. I just -like this editor and wanted to write something here that will remind me to use -it again in a while when/if it becomes available for Linux. - -**TLDR:** I think this code editor is very cool and has a massive potential. I -hope they don’t mess up with adding a plugin ecosystem to it! - -Out of morbid curiosity, I started using the [Zed editor](https://zed.dev/) on -my Mac. Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor developed by the -creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. Written in Rust so it has to be blazingly -fast! 😊 It's a joke, calm down. - -Over the past year, I have switched between [Helix -editor](https://helix-editor.com/) and [VS -Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), but for the last couple of months, I have -been using Helix exclusively. - -I've been genuinely impressed by Zed. When you open a file, it automatically -detects its type and downloads the corresponding [LSP (language -server)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Server_Protocol). The list of -supported languages is not extensive, but it's still impressive. It's a great -example of how to create a product that stays out of your way. - -![Zed editor](/posts/zed/zed-1.png?style=bigimg) -C code on a light theme. - -For C development it downloaded [clangd](https://clangd.llvm.org/) and setting -up missing dependencies in code was rather easy. For this project I use -[SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/) for rendering terminal emulator. It’s a hobby -project, don’t worry about it. - -If you are going to give this a try and you are using C, I suggest checking two -files in the root of your project folder. If you don't have them, create them. - -**compile_flags.txt** - -``` --I/opt/homebrew/include --I/opt/homebrew/include/SDL2 -``` - -Easy way of checking what the appropriate includes for a specific library is to -use `pkg-config` and in my case `pkg-config SDL2 --cflags-only-I`. But this is -nothing new to C/C++ devs. Just a noter for people who are using Visual Studio. - -**.clang-format** - -``` -ColumnLimit: 220 -BasedOnStyle: Mozilla -``` - -I prefer Mozilla coding style for C so you can set that up. - -They really have something special here. Although there is no version available -for Linux yet, I will stick to Helix. This impressive piece of engineering is, -above all, an amazing example of craftsmanship. - -They have a bunch of amazing integrated functionalities like live desktop -sharing, code sharing in a live coding session. There is a lot of pretentious -marketing speak there but the product is still amazing! - -For me the speed and the simplicity of the product was the most impressive -thing. You get that: it just works feeling. A rare thing in 2023. - -![Zed editor](/posts/zed/zed-2.png?style=bigimg) - -They also managed to add [Github Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot) -in a non obtrusive way. To me, everything feels very intentional and -specifically selected. It's minimal yet maximally effective. - - - -It is a perfect balance between VS Code, Jetbrains IDE’s and something like VIM -or Helix. - -I just hope they **DON’T** add plugin support and keep it like it is. They as a -vendor should add stuff to it with great deliberation and thought. And this way -the product will stay fast and focused. That’s my two cents. - -Amazing job! -- cgit v1.2.3
