Amazing work. Relatedly, I would love to see an Emacs in the browser, ala Bespin. Is there such a thing yet?
Why do we need a browser-based Emacs?
1. All the benefits of the cloud: access anywhere, always available, always backed-up.
2. The collaborative aspects are perhaps the most compelling. Think peer-programming/debugging. (see also http://jsfiddle.net/ http://jsfiddle.net/).
3. Because of 1&2, it seems inevitable to me that we will be programming in browsers 5 years from now. So I want my favorite editor to be around, too.

- judofyr 17y agoWouldn't it be easier to implement a browser in Emacs?

It's emacs in a browser. http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ "Shell In A Box implements a web server that can export arbitrary command line tools to a web based terminal emulator. This emulator is accessible to any JavaScript and CSS enabled web browser and does not require any additional browser plugins. Most typically, login shells would be exported this way"
