The Rust-native approach genuinely shows in day-to-day use, especially when you have agents running in parallel. Most editors start choking under that load. Curious how the multiplayer collab works when one person is also running an agent, do their edits and the agent edits come through the same channel?

How does it handle merge conflicts in real time when two people edit the same line?

@anusuya_bhuyan It uses conflict-free replicated data types (CRDT). Here's a delightful nerdy interview with Nathan Sobo (co-founder, also one of the devs of Atom editor) where he explores how Zed uses CRDT and other data structures for doing its magic.

Really glad to see v1 launch, I've been using Zed for a while and the performance and customization is really great

I’m having issues with syntax coloring working. I tried disabling everything and even installed a TypeScript plugin for it. Any news

I’ve been using Zed daily since the super early beta, and it’s hands-down the best IDE I’ve ever tried. It’s packed with hundreds of thoughtful little features that quietly make my workflow noticeably faster and more enjoyable every single day. The attention to detail is insane.

@dimabraven One of the best features for me is the ability to turn any chat history into a perfect Markdown file instantly and reuse it as context for other agents. Super fast and incredibly practical.

Hadn't heard of Zed before today but the engine design caught my attention. Building on Rust instead of Electron solves a class of performance problems most editors just accept as given. How does the collaborative sync actually behave on large files, that's the first thing I'd test before switching anything.

Why do i have to be above 18 to use this code editor? WTF?

Didn’t really get the point of multibuffers at first, but after using Zed for a while I love it! Congrats for v1!

Can agents use Zed to co-code?

Rust is very cool! How does it compare to Claude Code? Or does it not generate code and is it just an auxiliary tool for those who still write code manually?
