This appears to be based on the stellar open-source code-editor used by VSCode. Looking at the network traffic, it looks like you are also using the language server protocol [1] to provide context-aware code intelligence.
As far as I know this is the only use of the language server protocol in a web browser. Have you documented anywhere how you made this work?
Sourcegraph CEO here. You are right on all points. It uses Monaco on the frontend, with a lot of customizations (see here for a shout-out: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3127336/application-develop...). And LSP on the backend. We're writing a technical walkthrough blog post of all this stuff (excited to share!). Happy to chat with anyone who's curious in the meantime.
Anyone who thinks this sounds awesome to work on, head over to https://sourcegraph.com and click on "Jobs." We are growing quickly and would love to chat. Drop me a note (sqs@sourcegraph.com) as well.
Congratulations to the Sourcegraph team on shipping this new update. It looks great.
Back when Sourcegraph supported Ruby, I found myself reaching it for all the time. It was slightly half baked (semantic analysis of Ruby is challenging) but still incredibly useful. I look forward to the day Ruby support returns and it being better than ever.
Slightly unrelated, if you're based in the Bay Area, you should go to their meetup. I don't like going to meetups because the content is usually a bit fluffy but they've constantly had strong technical speakers. Here's one with the creator of Raft (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dfSOFqOhOU).
Sourcegraph CEO here. Hi Sunny! Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Ruby support will be publicly released when it's super high quality and fast.
Anyone out there who loves Ruby and wants to build a global graph of Ruby code with us, email me at sqs@sourcegraph.com to join the effort. If you just want to get early access to Ruby on Sourcegraph, head over to https://sourcegraph.com/beta.
Sourcegraph CEO here. Supporting more languages is our #1 request, and we are rolling out more language support soon. Head over to https://sourcegraph.com/beta to get early access. And email me at sqs@sourcegraph.com if you want to help us build it. It's one of the most fun and technically interesting projects you can take on.
> Beyang Liu from Sourcegraph joins the show to talk about Go at Sourcegraph and their code insight and language analysis tools for writing better code. We also get an understanding of what Sourcegraph is and the many ways to integrate it into your workflow.
