zed is a great example. most people use vscode, that is javascript. which ai code editors are built from scratch that aren't forked vscode?




Just Zed (if AI features are a requirement) as far as I know.

But to elaborate, they’ve found a niche simply by using Rust and rendering the GUI in a performant way on the GPU. I’m not saying performance is the only thing, but for a chunk of people it is something they care about.


Good performance is a strong proxy for making other good software decisions. You generally don't get good performance if you haven't thought things through or planned for features in the long term.
