  • Is possible to develop inside Chrome OS?
    • In which languages?

Answer 1

In which languages?

HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, gears for persistence

Webapps are entirely interpreted

Answer 2

A good start would to be understand what Chrome OS is.

Answer 3

You may try to learn how to write extensions for Chrome.

At this moment, they are not available at the current release, but they WILL be on the next one and you may bet they'll be available in some way on Chrome OS.

Answer 4

Is it possible to develop inside Chrome OS?

You may be interested in the Bespin project from Mozilla Labs. They aim to provide an IDE (written within a HTML5 Canvas object) to edit websites on the fly, and in the cloud.
