Bespin from Mozilla Labs

2 Comments

According to Mozilla Labs:

Bespin is a Mozilla Labs experiment that proposes an open, extensible web-based framework for code editing that aims to increase developer productivity, enable compelling user experiences, and promote the use of open standards.

This looks like a very interesting project and one similar to what I have in mind to implement for Clay. They have a demo online at http://bespin.mozilla.com/. It looks as though you can work in code repositories, but I’m not sure of how it works beyond that.

Bespin is written in Python; there appears to be a Java version in development (or at least I saw a Java folder in the backend folder).

    Hi David, I was wondering if you’re going to get back into Xaraya development again? Even if you’re not, you should stop by and say ‘hi’. The project is picking up steam again :)

    Anyways, Clay sounds interesting.

    I have been considering going back to work on Xaraya some. I can probably contribute a little better now that I’ve moved more into PHP instead of just a BlockLayout expert :) I almost popped in this weekend when I noticed the new theme on the site, but was running short on time at that moment.

    Clay started out as a replacement for Xaraya for BeSquishy.com’s backend and I started liking some of the concepts I came up with. It’s just a pet project until I have it working good enough to get some other people on board. Xaraya will always be my favorite framework :)
