Developers on Linux have been using a mix of editors, from Vim to VS Code, and while some prefer keyboard-focused tools for speed and control, others rely on full-fledged development environments for language support and debugging.

Lately, more developers have been getting into "[*vibe coding*](https://itsfoss.com/vibe-coding-editors/)", moving towards tools that are powered by AI. These editors keep things simple while offering features like code completions and suggestions.

Zed is one of those new-gen editors built around that idea. Earlier this year, its developers introduced [Git support](https://itsfoss.com/zed-git-support/), making version control easier within the editor. Now, with a [recent update](https://zed.dev/blog/debugger?ref=itsfoss.com), they’ve added a built-in debugger.

**Zed Editor's debugger on macOS. (Source:* [**Zed*](https://zed.dev/blog/debugger?ref=itsfoss.com)**)*

This started as **a community-led effort**, with developers from the Zed team and its community working together to build the debugger from scratch.

The debugger currently supports **Rust**, **Go**, **Python**, **JavaScript**, and **C**/**C++**. It's built on top of the Debug Adapter Protocol (*DAP*), the same standard used by many modern editors and IDEs, allowing Zed to connect to language-specific debug adapters while keeping the interface consistent and responsive.

The [documentation](https://zed.dev/docs/debugger?ref=itsfoss.com) offers more details for those interested in a deeper, more technical dive.

The Zed team is also working on adding **more advanced debugging features** like watch lists, as well as new views for memory, disassembly, and stack trace. They also plan to expand support for additional languages and build systems.

## 📥 Get Zed

The upgrade is live on Zed, with the editor being available for **Linux** and **macOS**, with early access for **Windows** offered through a signup program. On Linux, you can run the following command to get it:

```
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh
```
