Hey all! I'm one of the co-founders of CodeSandbox and a big fan of Rust. Rust support is something that we've been working on for a while, but the recent addition of Docker support in CodeSandbox really enabled it. Happy to answer any questions!
I'm not really a fan of in-browser IDEs. To me, it seems like a good way to constrain tooling environments.
What I would love to see is an extension that runs all of my tests and debugger in a type 1 hypervisor that can simply send a set of instructions to setup the VM, a snapshot of the changeset, and allows a developer to run that exact environment on their machine. Combine that with LiveShare and you have something that closely mimicks the experience of handing a keyboard and mouse back and forth during pairing.
I'm hoping Codesandbox would provide for CI/CD to directly deploy to production somehow. Basically, it's a "code in cloud" dream.
How many developers are there who are happy using some web based IDE versus their own tools?
I'd prefer having my own dev tools maintained locally by me but i'm curious if i'm becoming the minority
