If there would be a practical IDE solution running in the browser (or Chromium as offline package) for C++ which replaces VStudio/Xcode/QtCreator I would switch in an instant.

There are some decent C++ web IDEs, like https://www.codebox.io/stack/c or https://koding.com

But what is the purpose of creating yet another Web IDE (for Go) if there are already many established open source solutions like Eclipse Orion? They could just add a Go code completion and a build service to it.
