FWIW, you described a good part of the overall vision I have (we just haven't really talked about it yet). Our goal is to build the platform used to create things and our plans for the business side ensure that anyone who wants to use it wi

Yeah I don't think I'll release that either, this is far too uncertain of a territory. Instead, I'd rather be much more present focused.

depending on how we do on the funding route, python and ruby would be my next choices. JS is the next easiest one to build this for I think (though it's far more difficult than Clojure). Either way, even if we don't end up building it, I ce

Thanks I appreciate the support and it's a good reminder :) I completely agree with you. There's always good and bad to presenting something like this. On the good side it gets people dreaming - it leaves enough to the imagination for it to

In terms of out-of-band, it's being designed that way from the ground up so that we can support as many runtimes as you can imagine. Basically if you can create a service that talks over tcp and can handle JSON, you should be able to add su

Originally I started using it when I was building a platform to teach coding and it had the best Clojure support :) I remember getting annoyed by ACE's setup, whereas I just dropped CodeMirror in and it worked. The code definitely seemed ea

it'll use a browser for the UI layer, but that's it. So browser-based is a better term I think. No internets needed. In the end, though, even that will probably be abstracted away into a webview or something. The overall distribution story

I'm not sure I agree. Textmate made a crap ton of money, companies like JetBrains and DevExpress have made very successful businesses building dev tools. And while you mention MSFT as building a platform, if VS alone can make a billion, eve

5-6 days, most of which had to do with me having to hack around in the compiler a little. That was new for me and the Java there is particularly weird, so that took longer than I would've liked.

It could indeed, they'd need to focus on building out the evaluation context (basically a REPL), but as I recall there was a prototype of one somewhere. Past that, the new Roselyn language models would fill in a bunch of the gaps that would

I'm the same way myself - I <3 vim.

There are several options here: - show multiple iterations in place - show a single iteration with a forward and back - show multiple blocks for some reasonable n iterations - ... I definitely don't think that's going to be an issue longer

That's actually my live game editor - not the same thing, but also fun! I haven't decided what to do about my prototype quite yet, got too excited about sharing the idea :)

by ibdknox 15y ago
I did indeed. I used to be the Program Manager for C# and VB in the IDE. :) A number of the ideas presented here started brewing during my time there, but it took me a bit to figure out what the overall abstraction should be. I really love

There are ACLs for handling security concerns, but it's fairly early in their conception so they aren't really documented yet. Also, there is a rest API and I believe they're working on clients for other platforms so that nodejs isn't the o

BTW, the continuation of working on such an editor/environment, based on the live game editor [1] fogus talks about in his post, is a potential Google Summer of Code project [2] :) [1] http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/02/26/connecting-to-

even better would be to add a few libs to the classpath ;) Then you could have enfocus, jayq, crate ... https://github.com/ckirkendall/enfocus https://github.com/ibdknox/jayq https://github.com/ibdknox/crate

I also made a ClojureScript version of Bret Victor's interactive editor applied to game development: http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/02/26/connecting-to-your-c... Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XUWpze_A_s&context=C4f8c

Proving that there are cases where it's faster than C doesn't prove that it's faster than the JVM ;) There are plenty of cases where JVM code will be faster than C too...

I wrote Noir primarily to help people new to Clojure to get up and running really quickly. It provides a simple set of core abstractions that allow you build whatever you want. As others have said though, I don't think something like Rails

I find that the discussions on HN are always better than having comments on the blog itself... Also it means I don't have to curate comments on the blog. Basically it just feeds into my being lazy ;)

Eitherway, I just increased the contrast on all content areas :)

I'll talk a fair amount about ClojureScript during the course too :)
