I'm rebuilding #zedless from the ground up. Editing the source code directly made it impossible to keep up with upstream due to the hundreds of merge conflicts I would encounter with every update. Now I'm switching to AST editing with #astgrep and #treesitter.

The patch code is available at https://github.com/zedless-editor/zedless-patches. In its current state, it can build Zed v0.225.10 with reduced telemetry, no auto updates, and some of the proprietary AI integrations removed.

The plan is to get rid of all telemetry and nuisances such as upsell popups, as well as all online functionality that is specifically tied to a particular provider, leaving you with an editor that stays out of your way and doesn't rely on any services you couldn't host yourself.

Wow, #ASTGrep looks like a super nice tool for comprehensive code search on the shell. Anyone using it actively? https://ast-grep.github.io/

#astgrep (aka sg) a tool for structural search and replace (and an apparent replacement for stuff like #jscodeshift for doing codemods)

This looks super interesting!

If there's someone else out there who didn't have the stamina to set up LSP for #java on #neovim (for instance for a project you only use occasionally), maybe the plugin I wrote to get navigation (go to definition, find references) in Java projects using tree-sitter helps you too: https://github.com/emmanueltouzery/code-compass.nvim

#treesitter rocks. #astgrep rocks. #ripgrep rocks. #lsp rocks. #neovim rocks. We truly never had it this good.
