From a post on Zed.dev: Introducing DeltaDB: Operation-Level Version Control:

Our vision is turn your IDE into a collaborative workspace where humans and AI agents work together across a range of time scales, with every insight preserved and linked to the code forever. To make this possible, we're building DeltaDB: a new kind of version control that tracks every operation, not just commits.

DeltaDB uses CRDTs to incrementally record and synchronize changes as they happen. Its designed to interoperate with Git, but its operation-based design supports real-time interactions that aren't supported by Git's snapshots.

That sounds pretty neat, and I'm really interested to see how it goes.

Zed fascinates me for some reason, and I can't quite pin down why. Is it because of the hardware accelerated text rendering? Is it because it's crazy fast? It's written in Rust? Some combo of those and other things? Beats me, but I think Zed is cool.

It's also worth noting that Zed raised $32M in a Series B investment. I had no idea they were funded. In my brain it was a plain old open source product, but it looks like they have some serious funding to make it.
