That's amazing. I can't wait until we have standard wire protocols for all of this so that I can stay in an IDE while writing GWT/Coffeescript/JS/etc., e.g.:

https://github.com/sdbg/sdbg

(AFAICT both the FF and Chrome teams seem hot on building IDEs into their browsers, but, sorry, that's a step down the all-in-one Netscape Suite road IMO. :-))

I wonder if this implementation will allow the GWT debugger to work with Firefox again. The last version of FF that works with it is, I think, 26. When they removed the NPAPI layer.
