Nathan Sobo recently open-sourced Zed, a code editor that focuses on performance, integrates AI capabilities, and supports software teams’ collaboration out of the box. For performance, Zed leverages a Rust code base, multicore- and GPU-optimized code, with a custom Rust GUI framework. For collaboration, Zed relies on CRDTs and team channels. Zed is currently Mac only.

    It was more than just tab conversion. For example, it decided on its own that:

    if(...) {
    ...
}
else {
    ...
}

    would look better like:

    if(...) {
    ...
} else {
    ...
}

    I mean I guess I could live with that, but really? I imagine there’s some config where you can disable all this, but it just doesn’t seem worth some giant git commit every time I touch a file with the editor.

      Ah I think I found it. I need to go:

      {
    "format_on_save": "off"
}

      My guess is that it has that default because they use Rust. Everyone uses rustfmt so everything looks the same and if you always format before a commit you never get massive diffs.

      Most rust projects I’ve seen even have a ci job to check the formatting with rustfmt.
