Main features
The main features of the Lively Kernel include:
Small web programming environment and computing kernel,
written entirely with JavaScript. In addition to its application
execution capabilities, the platform can also function as
an integrated development environment (IDE), making the
whole system self-contained and able to improve and
extend itself on the fly.
Programmatic access to the user interface. Our system provides
programmatic access from JavaScript to the user interface via the
Morphic user interface framework. The user interface is built around
an event-based programming model familiar to most web developers.
Asynchronous networking. As in Ajax, you can use asynchronous HTTP
to perform all the network operations asynchronously, without
blocking the user interface.
