There's a great doc on exactly how Zed handles syntax and intellisense-style completions: https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-languages

Debugging isn't in yet, but is actively being worked on and planned for public release before 1.0: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5065, there's an active channel in their Discord discussing the development of the feature.

That first link doesn’t really explain anything about syntax/autocomplete. It’s just about config options per language (formatted, linter, lsp) but I guess I was expecting something else?

It explains it in clear terms:

"""

Zed's language support is built on two main technologies:

    Tree-sitter: This handles syntax highlighting and structure-based features like the outline panel.
    Language Server Protocol (LSP): This provides semantic features such as code completion and diagnostics.

These components work together to provide Zed's language capabilities.

"""

Note this is _not_ how VSC's C++ Intellisense works. The VSC C++ plugin uses proprietary features of MSVC, it doesn't use LSP.

		That’s not really a description of anything, just a list of libraries zed uses, let alone a great doc. Just expected more than “its tree sitter and lsp”.

Will they use DAP?

		My understanding is that DAP support is merged into their internal builds and is being polished up for a public release.
