The idea of encapsulated VM boxes is intriguing. What I couldn't find at first glance though is: what programming languages are supported by this IDE?

Hi Aaron from FriendCode speaking (Codebox author),

The IDE itself isn't tied to specific VMs, it can run on your own server, your own desktop/laptop or our cloud.

We provide stacks for our cloud solution https://www.codebox.io/.

We provide stacks and VMs for all common languages and frameworks (PHP, Java, Dart, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, C/C++, Lua) as of right now.

The community can also contribute new stacks providing support for other languages.

Hope this helps :)

Oh, that's pretty interesting. Going to try this out - maybe this will be the first usable C++ IDE under Linux for me :)

Oh, and Rust support would be awesome. But I guess that's too early.

/edit: I like that it runs cmatrix in my browser: http://i.imgur.com/ZDiJ5Tw.png ;)

A lot of things are being improved as we speak. We've got a Desktop bundled IDE in the works (Linux/Mac) and I've been working on some more advanced completion and language integration for C/C++, Java and .Net.

So expect this to evolve quickly over the next few weeks. And obviously now that it's open source anyone can help improve the project :)

Exactly what I was looking for yesterday researching an interactive programming tutorial I was thinking of putting together. Great timing!

Not sure if it's intentional but the license (apache2) link on GitHub goes to the docs folder rather than the license text/ definition.

Regarding interactive programming. I've got some things in a local branch, that provide some Light table like features.

I'll try to get working on those, when I've finished a few other things with a higher priority.

Maybe you could help contribute to that ?

Thank you, I just fixed this.
