The Rise of Cursor: A New AI Code Editor
Cursor, an AI code editor, has recently unveiled its $60 million Series A funding, sparking excitement among developers. This editor aims to revolutionize coding by replacing tedious searching for code primitives with instant answers and allowing complex changes to be implemented in seconds.
