So this is closer to Zed than Cursor/Windsurf/Continue, right?

edit: ahh just saw that it is also a fork of VS Code, so it is indeed OSS Cursor

Yep, Void is a VSCode fork, but we're definitely not wed to VSCode! Building our own IDE/browser-port is not out of the picture. We'll have to see where the next iteration of tool-use agents takes us, but we strongly feel writing typescript/rust/react is not the endgame when describing algorithms to a computer, and a text-based editor might not be ideal in 10 years, or even 2.
