Very nice. It'd be cool to see the same approach taken with a Python or Haskell interpreter written in JS, too.

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know what keeps this IDE from working in Firefox 3.5?

Not if it's a generic webpage that is viewed in Safari. If I'm not terribly much mistaken, that's the whole point of this project-- it gets around 3.1.1 by using offline support in Safari. After all, Processing.js is not technically pure JavaScript, and so it would fall subject to 3.1.1 were it not for this method.


Apple only starts to care what you do with javascript in a webkit view if you poke holes in it to expose Cocoa APIs, like PhoneGap does.

They would not view a language implemented in Javascript using the normal DOM APIs as anything other than just Javascript.


Are those available? I've only seen Basic and Scheme/Lisp interpreters so far. But I'd be more interested in a Clojure, ruby, or python version.
