After the Helma powered AppJet has come and gone, say hello to the Ringo powered Erbix!

In the spirit of AppJet, Erbix is a serverjs app engine web IDE. Erbix allows you to write and deploy CommonJS modules in a sandboxed hosted soft-coding environment.

And get this: Erbix is itself an Erbix app! Now that's cool!

In principal, Erbix claims to follow a "no vendor lock-in" approach. Eventually, CommonJS may indeed become an eco-system that will deliver on that promise. If you want to dabble with the interoperability of running CommonJS inside and outside of Erbix, the way to come as close as possible of rolling your own self-hosted setup would be to take RingoJS for a Ride.
