Ruby on Rails based Web IDE

[Oleksii Zaitsev]

I am going to create Ruby on Rails application that works like minimal web based IDE.

I want to implement several components:

1. Web terminal to interact with local unix machine.
2. Tree view file navigation.
3. Text editor with syntax highlight.

The main goal of application is to create/edit ruby or python script in editor, run it in the terminal and see the output.

I investigated this tool http://codiad.com/ It has good file editor and terminal plugin. But it seems too complex and it has php backend.

Is there any tools like web terminal or file editor that are easy to integrate into rails application?
