I opened it on Mac. It does feel very snappy, basically a VS Code in Rust, but I don’t think it’s ready yet for actual use. For example I couldn’t see how to load language servers or turn on syntax highlighting and the only plugin I saw was for Rust. Not saying those things aren’t there, and maybe they’d be more obvious if you opened a Rust project (I tried with a fairly typical Phoenix project). If the developer keeps with it maybe it could be excellent. The site he has up might be a bit inspirational vs descriptive of actual capabilities at this point?
