It should be more performant if actually handwritten I guess. But just lowering the implementation like this will make it faster than many other apps seemingly for free, but not having the abstractions from e.g. C or C++ will likely make it unmaintainable long term.

Typing latency is within one frame, so on par with my editor and Sublime Text etc. So, yes, it's fast.

Obv not as polished but still cool.

Working on the polishing phase. Thanks for trying it out! Is there anything specific I should look into?

I am glad to hear this. (As someone new also trying to sell a text editor)

Great inspiration.

100MB is not a giant file

Yes. That is a bit shady.

If you're on Mac: https://koieditor.com/compare/zed/

Sublime Text is measured "snappier" and use less memory than Zed.

There’s also Koi Editor.

No telemetry, no tracking, and much faster than Zed: https://koieditor.com/benchmarks/

Dev solely focused on performance and bug fixing.

So it seems.
