Tern – Intelligent JavaScript editing • Hacker News Board

Well, that looks really nice. I am not a IDE type, but I do enjoy nice coding helpers when I write. This, well integrated into say, Vim, would make Javascript programming really comfortable.

I typed "[[[[" and the script became unresponsive (hung). Repeated by reloading the page. Same result. FireFox / MacOS.

That's bad. I'll look into it right away.

Working fine on Chrome 24 on Linux/x64.

The browser tab hangs on Chromium 24.0.1312.56 on Kubuntu 12.10 (when typing [[[[).

Should be better now. It was a change I made half an hour ago. Ad-hoc changes to sites that are receiving traffic always do that.

[You'll need to hard-refresh to get the fixed code.]

Amazing, but it could be even more awesome if you could provide API that could be integrated with other editors.

Hopefully, that will happen. Sounds very cool though, as my IDE, sublime text, is rather underpowered in the intelligence department I'm afraid.

I could imagine it applying .tmLanguage scopes to words in the document, where you could colorize different variables according to type (I would opt for different background shades, myself). Then, mixed type colors (prompting you to click it and see what Tern says) when you can't know. Damn, that would be helpful.
