Great, I didn't know the terminal portion if VS Code exists as a separate project. Was it made to fuel VS Code? Or did it already exist before launching VS Code?

I also liked the name of the project, xterm.js. :)



It already existed, you can see when we started shipping the integrated terminal pretty clearly from the contribution graph :) https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js/graphs/contributors

The project itself is a fork of the popular term.js which is now unmaintained, we've taken it quite far since then. Hyper are probably going to be making a switch once a few more kinks are worked out too https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/1275


Looks like xterm.js was started by Sourcelair, which looks like a Cloud IDE.
