The Dev Times #75

Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

Zed – code at the speed of thought

From the creators of Atom and the blazingly fast AST parser Tree-sitter, comes the recently open-sourced Zed, a next-generation code editor. Zed is built natively for performance and for collaboration, allowing you to work from a virtual office, on any machine. It works seamlessly with generative AI models like GitHub CoPilot and GPT-4, allowing you to stay focused on your work inside the editor. There's a whole suite of other features we can't cover in this newsletter, but we think Zed is well worth a look. Explore more ›

Positioned as a blend between a static language and a general-purpose programming language, Pkl wants to make your configuration safer, scalable and a joy to work with. If you're looking for a good place to start, we suggest taking the quick tour to familiarize yourself with Pkl. Dive in ›

It offers a host of new AI features like Instant Links, Arc Explore, and the brand new Arc Search app – all aiming to create a browser that does the searching for you. Check it out ›
