I welcome competition in this space but two guys competing with Microsoft seems like impossible to win. Hopefully they get the funding and we can see what they can build
- marijn 8y agoThey are not putting _that_ much energy into Monaco, and these are not terribly huge systems. Also, I've been doing this for ten years, so that helps, in terms of experience.
- todd3834 8y agoIt is possible that less than 2 people at Microsoft are working on Monaco full time but just getting passive improvements over time. Never underestimate 2 smart dedicated engineers.
- michaelmrose 8y agoI wonder how one Finnish engineer could possibly compete with all Microsoft's many engineers in the OS space.
- norswap 8y agoI'd wager, by cloning another successful OS. Also, all Microsoft engineers didn't work exclusively on the kernel.
- chimen 8y agoMonaco is maintained by a single guy from my understanding: https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/graphs/contributors https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/graphs/contributo... It just shows many contributors but looking at code commits and general activity (maintainers) in issues only Alexandru Dima comes out.
- juancampa 8y agoThat's not where the monaco code lives. That's just for documentation. I think the actual code lives in the vscode repo
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoYou say competing with Microsoft, but, CodeMirror is being used as the editor in Chrome, Firefox and Safari's dev tools, as well as Light Table, Brackets and Bitbucket - according to the blurb on their own home page. I have no doubt that if those parties get more involved in CodeMirror, things could move very fast.
