I tried to use this, but I kept getting mysterious error messages like "the avalanche has already started it is too late for the pebbles to vote" and "divide by zero".
I cloned the project from https://github.com/MicrosoftDX/Vorlonjs.git to play around with creating a plugin. The code in the plugin TS files (e.g. `Plugins/Vorlon/plugins/sample/sample.ts`) keeps reporting errors like `Cannot find name 'Core'`, `Cannot find name 'RuntimeSide'` etc. Is that expected?
Anyone know what sort of auth or security provisions are involved? It seems great for developers, but if I were a user, I would worry about giving someone a remote session at my browser's javascript console.
I'm sure that's the intended state of affairs. But there's a difference -- at once psychological and technical -- between "trusting someone else's application code" and "letting their developers have remote debugging access to your machine."
They don't have any remote debugging access they wouldn't have... the JS still runs in your browser, sandboxed to the window with their website in it... it can't do anything else that any JS could do... it may be a psychological difference, but it's not a technical one...
I've considered a number of times about actually shipping dom-diffs so that support could see what a user is seeing. This technology has been around for a while.
I'm getting the following popup when I visit the page:
The page at blogs.msdn.com says:

I really want to like Microsoft, but it's the little things like these that make me uneasy. Especially when you're blogging about debugging javascript.
Based on this, the second reason is because the Vorlons are one of the wisest and ancient race of the universe and thus, they are helpful as diplomats between younger races.
What? No. That's not how the Vorlons worked at all.
Also, Javascript is basically the Shadows (mordon.js lol).
Wonder what langauges/frameworks map onto other Babylon 5 concepts?
Angular -> Earth Alliance? Enterprisey but not super elegant, and collapsing under its own weight and propaganda?
Also, Javascript is basically the Shadows (mordon.js lol).

LOL
<Spoiler alert>
I still think vorlons were here to help before moving to the next level at the very end, leaving the young races driving the galaxy
