Introducing Zed: A high-performance, multiplayer code editor. Now in beta.

Last year, the co-founders of Zed began developing their new code editor, driven by a commitment to speed and collaboration. Unlike their previous editor, Atom, Zed is built for exceptional responsiveness, utilizing Rust for its low-level control and expressiveness and featuring a GPU-accelerated UI framework to overcome Electron's limitations. They implemented Tree-sitter, an incremental parsing framework, to enhance precision and speed, making Zed a standout in performance. Beyond its speed, Zed is designed with collaboration in mind, allowing users to invite others for real-time code writing and discussion, with plans to introduce text-based conversations for discussing any part of a codebase. Currently in beta, Zed is available for macOS and Linux, and the team is actively seeking passionate individuals to join their mission to advance software development.
