Hot swapping is the process of replacing code while the application is running. It allows a developer to see changes immediately - no recompiling, no waiting on page reloads, and no clicking to get to the application state where the code was changed. Just save the file and you’ll see the changes.I would say hot swapping is a must for making applications with an always active update loop (games) and this guy would probably agree.There is a built in tree list view of all scripts used by the application. The editor supports tabs which are remembered when you close the browser window. You have access to the debugger and all the tools that come with
