Eclipse / IBM "Orion" Cloud / Web Based IDE

Orion: "Open Source Platform For Cloud Based Development"


@ InfoQ

Exo "Cloud" IDE

While there is quite clear expectation of what is "cloud computing", term "cloud" is increasingly used as a synonym for Web (WWW) technologies...

"Cloud" has a clear advantage for developers,
since it can provide great performance, reliability, ease of access, teamwork etc.

One of significant challenges in Facebook is "long compile time". (no surprise, they are using PHP => C++, and C++ compilers are generally slow).

Google also has solution for this: "build in the cloud",
in memory of servers...

Microsoft is actively working on Roslyn "compiler as a service",
that will likely be usable from a web based UI also.
