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/ .
