From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

They were exaggerating to avoid work. Look at the PR diff to determine whether your anti-Rust bias is true.

There are no patch, the issue has been closed as in rejected.

There are a few tasks that are open that are loosely related, but let's not mix things up.

Moreover, I will take the words of the maintainers over a random potato on a forum.

No offense...

The issue was closed, but a draft PR was linked... potato:

As I mentioned, a couple of tasks loosely related. The patch you are mentioning isn't complete nor address the real problem.

It is an ugly hack at best.

Refrain from your urge to defend rust at all costs. You are sliding more and more toward the specifics of a project than the fact I stated about rust in general.

If you still not get my initial point I've made, read this.

That's a long read explaining what I meant. My point was about Rust, not Zed or the developers of Zed in particular.

And for the Zed editor, I wish them the best luck, it seems like a great project that people enjoy.

Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts on the article above, my dear favorite nutritious veggie.
