Might be neat. Might check it out. But devs really need to stop asking me to install things by curling a script and piping it into my shell. There are better ways to do this. Doing this leaves a massive possible attack surface.
No matter how they package it, running a binary downloaded from Internet has the same attack surface
You are right, except for one detail. Package managers almost always validate the packages using digital signatures, to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks. You don’t need to trust the network anymore. Shell scripts piped to a shell don’t have that protection. You still have to trust the developers and maintainers, though.
Agree. Not at all a security expert here, but maybe doing it inside a distrobox could be a temporary fix?Forget it, I just tried and it seems it gets installed in your home directory so using distrobox doesn’t change anything (apparently, but as I said I’m not an expert so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).
However, I’ve seen they also have it available through a bunch of package managers like nix, arch and Fedora
It’s not really an alternative yet, it’s in alpha versions…
But I think it will be great in a year.
I gave it a test… I’m personally missing a markdown preview extension, and FIXME highlight extension
No git tab still. Vscode > Zed for now.
What’s with these posts using misleading info recently?
This doesn’t look anything like vs code.
The only similarity might be they’re both ide’s
Uhm yeah both are text editors trying to pass as an IDE. And alternatives don’t have to look alike either.
Well… I just tested it… And actually it seems closer than I thought…
I have no idea though why they used screenshots without a project pane and such. It supports extensions and such too…
I can’t see a FIXME Extension though that highlights it yet though… Or a markdown preview extension (which I definitely need)
Yeah this looks like more of an alternative to Sublime
Actually… I just did install it… It actually does have a lot of similarities to VS Code… I have no idea why they used photos in the blog without the project pane. But it also seems to support extensions and such too
built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer
I don’t want GPU-accelerated rendering, I want a renderer that has a solid 5 second lag, to make it look to anyone around like I type faster than 20 wpm.
Zed is dead.
Am not!
But… Marcellus Wallace went full medieval on your ass?
That was all just good fun
So pulsar for the win
Dunno, never been a fan of Atom.
I use and keep kicking my work colleagues with the fact pulsar seems much better at being an IDE
Every time I try a vim alternative, I get frustrated and just end up back with vim.
