Have they fixed the big/feature where it insists on downloading entire distributions of Node.js for running it's language server functionality?

This is basically my main gripe with Zed atm — it's very keen to autodownload and execute binaries.

I have a light fork that tries to nullify this, but I don't think I've managed to catch all the instances.

Other than that, it's a very nice editor in my opinion.

  • Easy fix:

    { "server_url": "", }

    I comment out that JSONC line periodically when I feel like cherry-picking updates

    I hate this pattern in software so much.
