Zed has introduced native debugging support across multiple programming languages, aiming to provide a fast, minimal, and powerful debugging experience with zero setup and a keyboard-driven interface.

Why it matters: Debugging was a key missing feature that prevented many developers from fully adopting Zed as their daily IDE.

The big picture: Built on the Debug Adapter Protocol, Zed supports consistent debugging across languages and remote environments.

Quick takeaway: Features include run-to-cursor, expression evaluation, multiple concurrent sessions, and a clean, adaptable UI.

Commenters say: Users are excited about finally having native debugging, praising Zed’s performance and simplicity while anticipating wider adoption.
