Simon Kaegi

Orion is an open tool integration platform for writing browser-based development tools. Language development tools in Orion have come a long way since the project was first introduced a year ago. This talk will give an overview of the current state of language tooling support in Orion, with particular emphasis on the state of JavaScript tools. We will see the extension points available for adding language tooling to Orion, explore the state of syntax highlighting technology, and describe Orion's story for JavaScript parsing and debugging.
