Positron, and Cursor.AI are VS Code-based, so I assume the VSCode Julia extension already works there, and all the other VS Code forks.

Other options are Zed and Pulsar editor I just discovered, both I believe based on Atom (the Zed people made Atom). Julia’s Atom-based Juno IDE is barely on life-support, merged into VS Code Julia extension. I think the extension is written in JavaScript, and Atom, and presumably Zed, use it too, and might have similar (but different) extension mechanism? Before spending a lot of money on the extension, I would want to know if needs or can support other IDE/editors, like Zed, and what would be the ideal to support if you has a choice?

Julia should learn from the rise of LSP: the important issue is to make a clean API and a decent implementation of this API’s server which can then be adapted to any IDE. There are several facets to this API (and it is essentially a superset of the LSP API).

This seems most up-to-date for Emacs: [GitHub - gdkrmr/lsp-julia](https://github.com/gdkrmr/lsp-julia)

> Julia support for the [=lsp-mode=](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode) package using the [LanguageServer.jl](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/LanguageServer.jl) package. For information on the features `lsp-mode` provides see their [git repository](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode).
