With the expected soon arrival of TypeScript typings, regl example editor could really benefit from all the features offered by Monaco editor, such as

autocompletion,
type inference,
inline API documentation.

We could even build a custom syntax definition for syntax coloring of GLSL in frag and vert fields, kinda like JS/CSS embedded in HTML.

The Monaco editor is not supported in mobile correct? Would this be a show stopper?

I just tried the playground on my tablet (Chrome, Nexus 9) and yeah, it seems kinda broken.

Is editing code on mobile web really a goal? I can't recall any code editors that explicitly supported mobile, except textarea. :)
