Theia is the codename of a new open-source project. It provides a foundation for implementing integrated development environments (IDEs) not only for software developers but all kinds of engineers. Based around a flexible layout engine and by leveraging industry standards such as the “Language Server Protocol” clients shall be able to design rich software tools for engineers that run both as a desktop app and in the browser connected to a remote backend. The framework is implemented in TypeScript and leverages Node.js and Electron to support different architectures.
In this session we want to give a demo of the current state and explain the goals as well as the decisions we have taken so far. Theia is a collaborative effort of multiple parties.
