Is it webtech based(built with html/css/js) or hardtech based(C++,QT whatever...) since they are talking about Monaco,it looks webtech based. nice.


Curious, if they just launched cross platform .net core, why didn't they just .net? Why typescript?


Cross platform .Net doesn't include a cross platform UI environment... though cross-platform WPF would be pretty awesome (not sure how much effort to extend on their efforts for silverlight would go).


You could use native interop into something like qt. Mono already does this for cross platform System.Windows.Forms.


Since its webtech it will interesting to see the speed vs atom and sublime


Its based on Electron (see https://github.com/atom/electron) so... its almost like a re-skinned Atom editor at the moment.


We use Electron for the shell, but our own Monaco editor, which we've optimized for large files, long lines, etc.
