[noloblo]

is it an electron app? like vs code?

[maxbrunsfeld → noloblo]

No. It's written in Rust, with a custom UI framework. More details in this blog post: https://zed.dev/blog/videogame

[ClapperHeid → maxbrunsfeld]

Yep. Looks like you're right

  >strings /Volumes/Zed/Zed.app/Contents/MacOS/zed  | grep rust

returns a load of references to 'rustc' and 'cargo'

That's max! One of the Zed Industries cofounders :D

Ok thanks max finally a non Electron editor I can download and try without panicking about the fans spinning non stop..

Is it possible to install using nix or brew? In mac

[gabrielgio → noloblo]

It does not seem like. They mention they have a custom GPU accelerated UI.
