That does not really matter though: Even immediate-mode approach programs should just not be drawing new frames when the program logic says that there are no new inputs that can result in different pixels (e.g. no user inputs, animations, notifications, text content changes, etc.). One does not need to "poll" for input.
But a video game does!
You see why I think their logic that an IDE should work exactly like a video game does is not as strong as it sounds at first.
They claim browser engines just lack the raw speed to build an experience like Zed, but I know of no reason that it should be true.
