It's extremely refreshing to see the editor's memory and processor usage be smaller than the webapp tab I'm working on.

I'm really liking it thus far!

Its binary is half a gig in size, so just like a browser, nothing fresh about that.

It has a huge amount of treesitter modules, etc., statically compiled into the executable. They're not all loaded the instant you fire it up.

Size on disk is about 64x less relevant than size in RAM for me. To give Zed some credit in this area, it's statically linked and the Linux binary is half the size as the Windows one.

considering how cheap storage is nowadays nitpicking about binary size is a very weird take. Are you editing code on an esp32?

Just be sure about that because zed fires up node as well for lsp.
