As always, compilation time depends on source file size.

I am not talking about compilation time.

State of the art, in programming tools, is what RosAsmers call laughing
"stock". :) not to be "uber" arrogant or anything. Its just one of the
strange facts of life.

...What?

:) What what?


compilation will happen locally. You just download the sourcefiles, of the
version you adopted, in your browser, and the browser plugin compiles it
for you. You dont have to burn back to the server, until you choose to, of
course.

It would be easier (requiring no cooperation from compiler writers) to
compile on the server.

Its important that the tools work offline as well. Only when exchanging code with the server, _must_ we be online. Or when we talk with other developers. You shouldnt _need_ to be online in order to work on a project.

The point is not that we work on _the_ project. We work in a derivation of it. Producing a new project, that will be subjected to ruthless users, and not stand a chance if it cant face the music. If the developer thinks it still has a future, he may work on it for another year, and then he upload again. Basically same way you update a wikipage.

And exchanging code with the server is just a matter of a click as well, and the exchange takes place without need of any interaction. You log on, and click "exchange project" and go grab a cup of coffie.

Code is visible to all, so you read it. If it looks ok, and seems to
perform better, or add features that you want, you upgrade. If you dont
understand it, you dont risk loosing any data, as its all stored online
anyway. And theres no forced upgrade.
The server will keep track of all the routines that changed in the last
modification.

That's where you use versioning! You can just roll it back to the
pre-vandalism version.

Yes. Should cost one click. Maybe two.
