Comment on Rune 1.1: adds Python, an Emacs editor, a symbol index and is now free

Comments

I may check this out as I'm between editors currently. Liked zed for a bit, until a blog post showed me how they were installing npm and who knows what else on my PC without me knowing. Used Code for a bit after until suddenly they started requiring AI dependencies just to run the IDE.

So hey, why not try something new.

There's a zed minus the iffy bits fork called gram. Haven't used it though, I'm still stuck in Emacs trying to figure out how to get out.

I've looked at gram, but unfortunately it, being a fork of zed, still has some dependencies I'd rather not deal with. Given the recent hacks (especially those a few weeks ago with lots of compromised AUR packages in Arch) I'd rather not have npm or nodejs installed. I don't develop in it, I don't need it, and having it installed is just an huge unnecessary attack vector for me.

I do love what the gram developer is doing though.

Haha, I'm trying to figure out how to get in!

Doom Emacs is the answer
