Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from the makers of Atom. It is written in rust.

    I think Zed is quite different from Atom. But Pulsar might be your thing. A direct fork of the last release of Atom being developed by ex Atom developers :)

    Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren't ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.

    Oh, interesting. In that case I misunderstood that part, I thought there were core devs of Atom involved in Pulsar, thanks :)

    Watch this space for the full history, I'm literally putting the final touches on a blog post that will go into details of how Atom started then how it became Pulsar as a little celebration after we hit 3k stars.

    Zed is not an IDE, it's a code editor. No, they aren't the same things, it's like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.

    Thanks. I briefly used Atom (on Win) but stopped as it was terribly slow to startup.

    What is the software license for Zed? It's Github page isn't clear.

    The code for Zed itself is available under a copyleft license to ensure any improvements will benefit the entire community (GPL for the editor, AGPL for server-side components). GPUI, the UI framework that powers Zed, is distributed under the Apache 2 license, so that you can use it to build high-performance desktop applications and distribute them under any license you choose. https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-now-open-source>
