Zed 1.0 is out – using it since day one for Ruby

Announcements

Hello :waving_hand:

I’ve been using Zed since its first early release, mostly for Ruby/Rails. Today they announced 1.0. Here’s the short version of what changed:

  • Not Electron – built in Rust with GPU acceleration. Still very fast.
  • Finally mature – Git, SSH remoting, debugger, LSP (Ruby works great with solargraph/ruby-lsp). Cross-platform (Mac, Win, Linux).
  • AI built-in – not a plugin. Multiple agents, inline predictions, works with Claude, Cursor, etc.
  • Coming next : real-time collaboration between humans and AI agents at character level.

If you tried Zed a year ago and bounced, 1.0 is the time to give it another shot. It finally feels complete while keeping the speed.

I’m using Zed full time now on both macOS and Linux. Love it. About the only thing I miss from code-server (aka VSCode) is visual Git Graph, but they’re working on it. Also, I still have to use code-server when I’m on my iPad, but there are hints that a version of Zed is in the works for iPadOS as well.
