Not quite: "The real test is whether you can create an acceptable development environment on something small enough that you'd be willing to use it as a phone."
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?
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.
This approach looks very interesting. I will give it a try. Still comfort using native apps will be there for the end user.
