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

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?

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

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