Opened Zed editor supporting collaborative code writing

[or1k]

The source code of Zed (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed), a multi-user code editor (https://zed.dev/) developed under the guidance of the author of the Atom project (the basis of VS Code), is open (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed). Only macOS is supported so far (Linux, Windows and Web support is under development).

The Zed editor is notable for its focus on real-time collaborative development and achieving maximum refinement, performance and responsiveness of the interface. Zed attempts to combine a lightweight editor and the functionality of modern integrated development environments in a single product.

Zed's high performance is achieved through active use of multithreading with the use of all available CPU cores, as well as window rasterization on the GPU side. In the tests performed, the reaction time to a keystroke in Zed is estimated at 58 ms, for comparison, in Sublime Text 4 this indicator is 75 ms, in CLion - 83 ms, and in VS Code - 97 ms. Zed's startup time was estimated at 338 ms, Sublime Text 4 at 381 ms, VS Code at 1444 ms, and CLion at 3001 ms. Memory consumption of Zed was 257 MB, Sublime Text 4 - 219 MB, VS Code - 556 MB, CLion - 1536 MB.
