In the dynamic open-source development platform space there is also a "birth" to announce. Arduino Srl (aka Arduino.org), the maker of the popular Arduino microcontroller-based open-source board kits, recently announced the release of a new, bouncing-baby integrated development environment called Arduino Studio. Arduino Studio is a development environment that is completely open source and dedicated to the Arduino programming language. The company describes the IDE as "simple, practical and versatile, enabling [users] to take advantage of the characteristics and potential of Adobe Brackets Editor". Arduino Studio is an IDE for all environments, and it is available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS or as a Bracket extension. Furthermore, the IDE can be utilized not just on standalone PCs, but also in Web/cloud mode, via browser or embedded on Arduino boards. Arduino Studio is open to contributions from the community for new functions, libraries and themes.
