Zed, built in Rust, has a small market share but a lot of influence on open standard development. JetBrains, the creator of IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, is now joining as a co-developer and wants to integrate ACP into its IDEs. The company emphasizes that the protocol prevents vendor lock-in, allowing developers to use their preferred AI assistant within the environment of their choice.

Artificial Intelligence isn't a trend anymore. It's a turning point. Whether you're building apps, analyzing data, or designing user experiences, AI is now a daily companion in modern tech work. The question is no longer if you'll use AI, but how skillfully you'll use it. That's why Treehouse is integrating AI learning content across all of our Techdegrees-learn AI in our online bootcamp, the Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree.

infamously boasting that the tech was doing the work of " 700 full-time agents" last year - only to regret his decision months later, admitting that humans play an important role after all.

Solid.js takes a unique approach to reactive state management that has broadly influenced other reactive front-end JavaScript frameworks. It provides a compact set of reactive primitives built on signals, rather than state, and leverages those to support higher-order functionality. With a clean core design built for speed and a full set of enterprise features, Solid charted an impressive 90% developer satisfaction in the January 2025 State of JavaScript survey. Let's get started with Solid.js.

Large language models (LLMs) are just another fancy compiler. Back in the 50s and 60s, everyone was working in Assembly, and then C showed up, and we didn't stop coding in Assembly because C was suddenly perfect. C isn't perfect, but we stopped doing it because C is good enough, and we're more productive coding in C. And to me, LLMs are a very similar trade-off. They're not perfect yet, but at some point they will be good enough to make us more productive.
