The lack of integrated terminal or method of running a go program makes me question what use this is to someone. Until either of those is implemented, this is a no-go for me. Not even mentioning that it costs money to use without adding any value over free editors.
Looks like the application requires macOS v12, which is only a year old. What features does it require that means it can't be backwards-compatible? Is it a SwiftUI thing?

How is Chime better/different from other options, like say Sublime Text?
I am a paid customer and I've been trying to use it, but it's not useful yet. I bought this as a specialized IDE for Go but then they added Ruby and other languages I don't really care about and Go is not in focus anymore, so, what's the point of being one of the many - Nova, CodeEdit, Sublime Text, VS Code, you name it!
I am disappointed!
I just downloaded this to give it a trial and so far my exprience has been infuriating. I go to quick open a file - it takes 5 seconds to provide me a suggestion, I select my suggestion and hit enter, nothing, I double click, nothing, I hit the space bar, nothing.... Okay, let me maximise the window, I double click the window title, nothing, hmm, let me double click where the window controls are, nothing. It hardly feels 'Mac native'.
edit: after typing this out and letting it rest in the background, the quick open now actually opens a file.
Cute but seems a bit too simple. Iām no fan of VSCode, I like my UI clean and simple (like Atom for example). Oh well, will continue waiting on Zed.
Seemed interesting based on the amount of languages the editor supports on paper, but a quick trial showed that at least C# support is very, very barebones, even theoretical, as I couldn't get any kind of autocomplete to work, for example. After few minutes of usage Im unsure of what it provides aside from some syntax coloring. Maybe I did something wrong?
For context, this is probably posted after Apple ExtensionKit[1] made it to the homepage of HN.
I'd expect the website to describe some of the features, but I can't seem to find any real sales effort. Lots of stellar competition in this area considering Mac-only editors alone: TextMate, BBEdit, Nova.

Why does the title refer to this as a Go editor when the linked page is talking about having support for 23 different languages?
