According to them, many users <strong>prefer simpler code editors over complex Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)<\/strong>. While IDEs have advanced features, they can be slow. Scripted aims to offer the best of both worlds: a lightweight editor packed with essential features.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Scripted is a cloud-based solution that runs in your browser. This means you don\u2019t always need an internet connection to use it.<\/p>\n<h2>Behind the Scenes<\/h2>\n<p>VMWare reveals that the editor\u2019s technology is based on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eclipse.org\/orion\/\">Eclipse Orion<\/a>. Orion offers an excellent coding experience, making it a wise choice for Scripted.<\/p>\n<p>On the server side, Node.js handles all the operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vmware-archive\/scripted\">Scripted on Github<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vmware-archive\/scripted\/wiki\/Features\">Scripted Wiki<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next for Scripted?<\/h2>\n<p>VMWare plans to add a plugin system and improve integration with Google Chrome Dev Tools.
