Hey everyone

I’m not sure if there is enough capacity to develop a Cody extension for ZED, so I can’t make any exact statements here.

What do you mean by sufficient resources? Not enough resources for Zed or not enough resources for Cody.

I’m not sure if there is enough demand to delegate the task to the developer team.

It’s not that there is not enough demand, but if you make a plugin for Zed you will reach more users because Zed is more preferred than Vs Code (I prefer Zed too). I think it should be tried to reach more users.

IMHO (just my personal thoughts), Zed should not be the main priority because of many reasons:

  1. Zed has native AI features like recently introduced Zeta autocompletion and next edit prediction, also AI chat and some agentic features - so there is native implementation for the most things Cody could offer;
  2. As far as I know then Zed extension API/implementations lacks a lot of features which would be needed for Cody functionality - currently most Zed extensons focuses on themes, language servers, slash commands and context servers. So even if it would be possible to implement Cody in Zed - that solution would be miles in different direction than the VSCode base version of Cody;
  3. “More preferred than VSCode” - that’s a very personal opinion, a lot of people prefer and use VSCode over Cursor or other IDEs/editors too. :slight_smile: Zed, of course, is very fast and has some other cool features but it has a massive problem of extension ecosystem (lack of it; probably because of reason I mentioned in the 2. point). As you can see, lack of extensions (in this case - Cody) - actually is the main point of this post…
  4. Also I think Cody already reaches a lot of users and developers - especially if the main focus is on Enterprise users.

I am not against Zed or SG developing Cody extension for Zed but I see more risks than possible gains.
