Bespin merged with "Ace" - the new project is at http://ace.ajax.org/ or https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace.

As an aside, I was sad to see Bespin go. It used canvas for rendering, while Ace uses the DOM. While the Ace team had good reasons for this, Bespin just looked so.. pretty..



Oh my, and this is based on "Ace", so we've come full circle.

I didn't realize Bespin was gone, that's a shame, but it looks like they're making a lot of progress. Being in the process of moving from a (dying) desktop to a laptop, I appreciate things like Chrome syncing where I don't have to spend a whole day configuring my browser any more. I am okay with moving more of my apps to the web, assuming offline mode is always an option. I look forward to more "cloud" products like this.


You may see a return to canvas with ace. I saw an upcoming version at Google IO and believe it used canvas and webgl.
