We're working on it! :) You can pay for Zed today if you'd like - https://zed.dev/pricing - and also the editor itself is open-source under the GPLv3 license. So if at any point in the future Zed changes direction

Yes, Opus is very noticeably better at programming in both Rust and Zig in my experience. I wish it were cheaper!

> Given Rust's numerous benefits, is having subpar compilation time really that big of a deal? As someone who uses Rust as a daily driver at work at zed.dev (about 600K LoC of Rust), and Zig outside of work on roc-lang.org (which wa

A better argument against vector embeddings for AI code agents is that model performance degrades with number of tokens used (even when well below the context window limit), and vector chunks are more prone to bloating the context window wi

Not to worry! When VS Code launched, it had a tiny ecosystem compared to Atom. When Atom launched, it had a tiny ecosystem compared to Sublime Text. Starting out with a much smaller ecosystem than already-popular alternatives is a totally n

We definitely plan to add support for this! It's on the roadmap, we just haven't landed it yet. :)

You can still access that one! Press the 3-dots menu in the upper right of the panel, and then choose "New Text Thread" instead of "New Thread".

Ah, that's still the old one - the whole thing is no longer editable in the new one we launched today. (You can still access the old one, but the new one is the default as of today.) Check out the video in the blog post to see the new

I think the bigger "AI hype vs. Reality" gap is about the productivity numbers people casually throw around, like "10x as productive" or even 100x. For example, here are YC partners quoting a company in a batch claiming

We recently changed Roc's lambda syntax from the syntax that languages like Elm and Haskell use... foo = \arg1, arg2 -> body ...to this: foo = |arg1, arg2| body The reason for this change was that w

That's right, although the Rust equivalent of that would be more like `Future<Arc<Mutex<RefCell<T>>>>` than `Arc<Mutex<RefCell<T>>>` - so the ergonomics would be a bit different!

This is one of the things Roc does differently from Elm. Roc packages all work the same way, and you get them from URLs.
