- Cloud9 is a fast-growing startup with 30 employees and 2 offices that creates the best JavaScript IDE. Their core product is an online IDE called Cloud9 that uses Node.js and has many features like collaboration, VIM mode, and offline support. - Cloud9 supports language engineering in the cloud through its plugin architecture and use of language services. These services provide features like syntax checking, code completion through an asynchronous interface. - Cloud9 aims to expand language support and analyses through open-sourcing components, using their language foundation that provides language services in a technology-agnostic way, and building an extension store.
