Comment on WeScheme (web IDE)parent

Comments

this is for writing scheme and compiling to js for running client-side. Cloud9ide seems to be an ide for writing directly in js or php/ruby etc.

Also, WeScheme goes to great pains to implement the "world" computing model, rather than only exposing the underlying computational model. Implementing this atop JavaScript is a fair bit of effort. That's where our resources have gone; Cloud9 has spent its effort elsewhere.

You can read about the model here: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/ff... A fun exercise for hackers is to guess the consequences of this for running atop JavaScript.
