Looks cool. I continue to love Markdown and always push it a bit further than Commonmark, with frontmatter, schemas, code fence metadata too. I've been enjoying https://djot.net/ as a superset of Markdown that is feels very well designed and extensible too. You may look into its syntax and tooling for prior art or some extra lift. I'm trying to get a djot extension in Zed for syntax highlighting if anyone minds adding a to help signal some community interest. https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/pull/5206

Hey, Antonio here. Co-founder at Zed. Sorry that we haven't replied to that GitHub issue yet. We try our best to listen to the community (here, on GitHub, on Discord, ...), but we're a small team and, admittedly, it's tricky to keep up with everything. I agree that we should ask users for consent before downloading language servers (and other executables). For everybody who's come across the ticket here or on Reddit and hasn't worked with the Zed codebase yet, let me provide some context on how language support is implemented. In Zed, we have three ways of supporting a language (and its language servers): 1. Extensions that users can install from the `zed-extensions` repository [0] 2. Pre-bundled extensions that ship with the Zed binary, but still need to be installed [1] 3. Built-in language support [2]. For (2) and (3), the code is owne

d by the Zed team and we make a conscious effort to review contributions from the community in that area. That code can automatically download language servers, but we try to vet which exact scripts/binaries are downloaded from where. For example: we heavily use rust-analyzer ourselves and keep up to date with its releases, the Go language server `gopls` is downloaded from the Go team using the official `go` tooling, the ESLint language server comes from Microsoft, etc. For the longest time, we only had built-in language support (3). A couple of months ago, we shipped extensions for Zed (point 1 and 2 above, parts of it described in [3]). The goal was for built-in language support (3) to gradually move to pre-bundled extensions (2) so that users had the ability to choose which ones to install. We did make some progress, but we haven't ported all languages yet. We're a small team and can only do so many things at once. So after investing quite a bit of time into extensions, we chose to pause that work and invest into other areas for a while (porting Zed to Linux, for example). Once those areas are in a better state, we plan to come back to extensions, build them out some more, and port the remaining languages. So, TL;DR: we hear you loud and clear. We try to vet things that are currently installed automatically. But we agree that we should ask users whether they want to install arbitrary binaries on their computer. We also plan to transition all language support to manually-installed extensions once we finish other projects.

Zed certainly seems interesting! I wonder though if it's enticing enough to leave Emacs' versatile configurability and introspection abilities behind. I don't think Zed has any way to extend its behavior beyond configuration options, and if it doesn't have a scripting language to go with it now, then it seems quite unlikely it will have a good one in the future either. Based on another comment here I did some more searching and I found this: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions . It seems though the extension abilities are limited to dealing with different kind of files, not for really extending Zed's abilities: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/blob/main/AUTHO... https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/ .
