Eventually the editors of Smalltalk and Lisp environments of the early days will be rediscovered by youth generations it seems.

How are you highlighting the matching characters in the fuzzy search results? http://www.chris-granger.com/images/030/navigate.png It looks like the same method I'm using in emacs/ido, which is to turn "la/clj" into "(l).*?(a).*?(/).*?(c).*?(l).*?(j).*?" I've found this technique gives inferior results to whatever SublimeText is doing. For example, in your hits with "langs", such as "lt/objs/langs/js.cljs" I think "l…

Turn slashes into .*?(/).*? and leave the rest alone? If you don't want to treat slashes specially and want to allow "ab" to match "aqqqb" then I don't think you can do it without creating a giant regex. You can go for a modified longest common subsequence algorithm. Edit: here's how you can do it: // gives one point for each letter matched // plus an extra point if the next letter is also a match let rec scorematch…

What going back over the old demo and looking at this post did was remind me of how nice jsfiddle is when it isn't insanely slow, which then led me to wonder how hard it would be to create something like jsfiddle that lived on top of github would be, or something like jsfiddle that lived inside my favorite editor, or just in a static html page on my desktop.

If you get frustrated with jsfiddle, try out http://cssdeck.com/labs It's nominally oriented toward CSS and all the CSS preprocessors, but it handles JS just fine (and CoffeeScript, too!). I like its layout a lot more than jsfiddle -- it's more aesthetically appealing to me. It also features the ability to do codecasts. I can't recall if jsfiddle has that, but it's a nice feature for demonstrating code to someone.
