Eclipse Theia - News from the Next Gen Tools Platform
summary
Theia now runs nearly all VS Code extensions (about one month behind upstream), adds multiple extension registries for private/internal catalogs, and ships a reimplemented RPC protocol that is 30x faster for large-file access. Live demos show Python notebook support, the Test API, detachable windows, tab previews, and remote-SSH/back-end-in-container connectivity. Startup time drops to roughly 60% of previous, quarterly “community” releases provide stability, and Theia Blueprint is evolving toward a usable IDE and backendless deployments.
