Zed

[pders01]

Hi folks, as you may already know, there's a new kid on the block: Zed.

Performance is great and the Vim mode is as well, but there's no LSP integration w/ perl as of now.
Maybe we can get perlnavigator to work.

That sounds like a great idea. I've looked at Zed briefly, but I haven't actually tried to do anything with it. @pders01 do you know what would need to be done to get Perl Navigator working?

[pders01]

I have looked at the repo and the existing LSP integrations but not yet how to commit. Will find out and reply.

[pders01]

So there's this thread on adding language support.
For the moment it seems like:

• Add implementation to crates/languages/src
• PR

[pders01]

I've looked at the implementation for go w/ gopls as a reference. Seems doable but needs some time to get working I bet.

[oalders]

Is this something that you'd like to take on?

[pders01]

Yes, I do. Don't expect anything soon, though. I have several big projects at the moment.
If anyone feels like they have too much free time right now, just jump on it.

Hi, let me know if I can help with incorporating the Perl Navigator into Zed. Although the first step is probably getting the perl tree-sitter grammar working. Helix is a good reference, as it is another rust-based editor that uses tree-sitter and the Perl Navigator.

[pders01]

Thanks bscan, haven't commenced work yet but will definitely reach out.

Seems like @rabbiveesh already did it by now :) https://github.com/tree-sitter-perl/zed-perl

[rabbiveesh]

Indeed, any tree-sitter related things and I'm happily on it (tho I really have to push some updates to helix)

If someone could get the npm build of the navigator fixed I have an improvement for the zed plugin so it'll handle the install itself
