GSOC 2018 - Development Environment: JavaScript Prototype
Hello!
My name is Pedro, I'm a Brazilian student and I've just learned about GSOC this year! I'm on my last year of college and I've done a lot of projects myself, using a lot of different tools, but never contributed to an open source one. So doing this would be a new experience for me.
I was reading about Processing and I loved the idea behind the project and the feeling that I got from reading the description . And when I saw the "guy from the coding train" promoting the software I knew I had to take a better look (his coding challenge videos where what got me more interested in html/js).
I looked around the Ideas List and I stumbled across one which I liked and thought I was able to contribute: "Development Environment: JavaScript Prototype"
Building an IDE sounds like a new and challenging thing for me (which is always a good thing).
I have some experience using Electron to build Desktop applications (only college projects and using node on the back-end tought), but I made a quick search and modifying for java shouldn't (hopefully) be a big problem.
For my java experience I've mainly worked with some back-end stuff with spring / hibernate.
I don't know if I got the idea for this project 100% right, or even how should I introduce myself, but I would love to hear from you guys if I could be of some help on this project.
Thank you very much.

Welcome @pedro_azevedo
Personally, I like the idea and we have a web-based editor https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor for p5.js. Maybe it is helpful for you although it is not a desktop application.
Hey @gaocegege!
Yeah you are right, the web-editor would probably be a good place to start.
And it also has a modern, clean design which is always a good place to find inspiration.
Thank you for your remarks,
