Zed Improved. Aiming to improve upon Zed and make a truly delightful code editor.

![]() Precursor to other optimizations, but this already gets us a big improvement. Wasm compilation can easily be parallelized, and with all of the cores on my M4 Max this already gets us an 86% improvement, bringing loading an extension down to <9ms. Not all setups will see this much improvement, but it will use the cores available (it just uses rayon under the hood like we do elsewhere). Since we load extensions in sequence, this should have a nice impact for users with a lot of extensions. #### Before ``` Benchmarking load: Warming up for 3.0000 s Warning: Unable to complete 100 samples in 5.0s. You may wish to increase target time to 6.5s, or reduce sample count to 70. load time: [64.859 ms 64.935 ms 65.027 ms] Found 8 outliers among 100 measurements (8.00%) 2 (2.00%) low mild 3 (3.00%) high mild 3 (3.00%) high severe ``` #### After ``` load time: [8.8685 ms 8.9012 ms 8.9344 ms] change: [-86.347% -86.292% -86.237%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05) Performance has improved. Found 2 outliers among 100 measurements (2.00%) 2 (2.00%) high mild ``` Release Notes: - N/A |

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about
to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
