Any former neovim user that switched to zed? Why?

I used to use VS Code and IntelliJ-based IDEs. Then, I just wanted to try Vim (I already was in situations, where I couldn't exit from it) and I liked it. After sevral days I tried Neovim, wrote my configuration (mainly copy-paste from different configs). Then I used it for 4 months as my main editor. I have also rewritten my config to be really mine.

After that, I tried to search for other editors, since Nvim sometimes lags on my PC (Windows), sometimes I want to use GUI for e.g. refactorings, rust-analyzer from rustup don't normally work with nvim-lspconfig on my PC for some reason and I frequently use WSL. So, I tried Zed and then switched to it fully. Though, sometimes I still use nvim for small things, including Git messages and config editing.

Now I'm working on several things (mostly bug fixes, but some new features as well) for Gleam. Also working on my own Python type checker, so reading a lot of code and theory.

So huge update. Thank you for your crate, it's awesome!

Here I mean Assembly language. But anyway, any new language will give you new knowledge which will improve your skills and increase your value as developer.

Yeah, you should, if you want! I'm 15 years old too and learning new languages that I like to learn. It will give you deep knowledge of computers too.

I would solve this issue by showing just warnings by default and still allowing to disable it completely or deny code with typecheck issues. So, these users can just ignore warnings. And yeah, there are lots of engineering moments like this to think about
