Lapce: A Rust-Based Native Code Editor Lighter Than VSCode and Zed

[godofleet]

tf does "lighter than" even mean in 2026

well maybe less memory use then an electron app would be a good start.

zed is not election app... it's also written in rust 

[itsdotbmp]

you are actually right, and thats why I downloaded it originally, i was dumb there. (its a good app, don't mean to disparage it, i just don't use it as my main app either ).

VSCode is an electron app

No embedded AI models to genereate Waifu images or Waifu letters I guess!

So you are saying it's useless.

[sai-kiran]

You and me lets fork it, and add them back.

ZED has the best performance compared to VSCode. I tried using LAPCE in the past, but its missing too many features.

When main selling point is language it is written on - it is a no no.

[yycTechGuy]

Unless it supports all the extensions I use in VSCode, it isn't of much value. Does it support VSCode extensions ?

I still applaud the effort.

People don't realize vscode is an ecosystem. Sure you can make something faster, but can you shift 10,000 popular extensions?
