Absolutely. We currently working out the bugs in a graphical editor for
..cfg files that allows you to compose these scripts easily (no need to
write JavaScript) _and_ review the result of running the script.
As for .xs and .xdc files we don't have any development underway. But
it's easy to see the sort of capabilities that should be available:
syntax highlighting, method auto-completion, and links to method
documentation.
Since .xs files are JavaScript, syntax highlighting is easy (there are a
variety of JavaScript aware editors) but some work is necessary to
integrate method completion and summary documentation.
Finally, although .xdc files have no pre-existing editors that
understand their contents, they are somewhat easier than arbitrary
JavaScript files: the IDL is purely declarative, strongly typed, and
it's relatively easy to determine what each identifiers refers to.
The challenge for both .xs and .xdc files is in finding appropriate
editors to start with.
