Wow, that's... that's amazing. Talk about unexpected -- their Linux app is terrible, and I assumed always would be! Gonna go apply to Discord, brb.
I did a Rust GUI survey for a comment on here a few days ago, so for anyone not familiar with the jargon: the last bit is basically saying they're using a more "pure" Rust framework rather than one that uses Rust to render a webview. The latter is popular because the web stack is undeniably the best for frontend styling and composition, but it's also something of a middle ground between Electron (runs a whole browser for its web stack) and something like this.
GPUI in particular is basically just Zed opensourcing their handrolled setup. AFAIK this is the first major app to adopt it (?), but the ecosystem is otherwise healthy. See https://gpui-kit.com/ , with ~20k stars.
