Hi marijn, thanks for the great work. From what I can see on your repo, you've written your front-end modules in ES6. But what about the back-end? In which language has it been written? nodejs?

The collab demo's backend is node.js. You could get collaboration to work by just relaying JSON between clients, but if you want to do intelligent things with the data (keep a snapshot of the current document, for example), you'll need an implementation of the document model, which exist only in JS and would be a bunch of work to port.

  ok thanks. So, if you open source Prosemirror, will you also release an open source nodejs module that does all the magic for collaborative editing?

    Yes. And most of that magic happens client-side, so server implementations can be thin (there's currently no general-purpose server, but I'll definitely open-source the demo).
