Zed is 1.0
Blog post from Zed
Nathan Sobo's announcement of Zed reaching version 1.0 highlights the innovative journey of creating a fundamentally better code editor by building it from the ground up using a unique approach akin to video game development, with a focus on performance and collaboration. Unlike its predecessor Atom, which was limited by its web-based framework, Zed is constructed with a custom UI framework, GPUI, in Rust, allowing for unprecedented control over its software stack. This foundation has enabled Zed to support a wide range of programming languages, integrate Git and SSH, and include AI-native features with multiple agent support through the Agent Client Protocol. The release also introduces Zed for Business, providing centralized tools for companies to deploy the editor across teams. The vision for Zed extends beyond version 1.0, with plans to enhance collaborative coding through DeltaDB, a synchronization engine facilitating seamless human and AI interaction at a granular level. This milestone signifies not the completion but a significant progression in Zed's evolution, with continuous weekly updates advancing software craftsmanship.
