Recently stumbled upon node-webkit, an open-source from Intel Open Source Technology Center, which is deliciously “simple”: combine a standalone webkit (Chromium) build and node.js into a runtime.
Webkit/Chromium brings a high-performance HTML5 environment with JavaScript JITting compiler, WebGL, Audio, hardware accelerated Canvas, camera access, etc.
A new DWScript 2.3 preview 2 7zip (422 kB) is available for download for those that don’t use the DWScript SVN. This version should be the last before a release candidate for 2.3. As the lead version is Delphi XE, users of Delphi 2009, 2010, XE2 and XE3 are especially encouraged to report any issues they encounter. FreePascal support is still considered experimental at this moment.
If you’ve tried building PhoneGap/Cordova apps, be it in Object Pascal via Smart Mobile Studio or directly in JS, you’ll quickly have realized that debugging on the devices, even with remote debuggers and emulators, isn’t always convenient.
Being able to debug in a desktop browser would be so much more convenient, eh?
Recent additions to DWScript… as well as for next Smart MS version 😉
