In late 2009, I had an idea to create a service that would allow game developers to run JavaScript on the server to drive multiplayer games.
I worked on it for about 6 months and then Apple released Game Center. It was pretty clear that my service would be eclipsed by Game Center so I threw in the towel on it.
At the time, I was targeting Node.js on the server and wrote a fledgling sand-boxing tool called Jefe [1].
I'm using Parse in my current app (Lexatron [2]) and I'm loving it. I'm looking forward to see what I can run on the server side.
