You are correct :) Initially it was meant as a tool to teach people Imba, but now we support other languages as well!

#43very cool tool. would be even better if you add #tags so say you can filter all the #imba casts.

#44Insane and well executed!

#45I cannot wait for the "everything needs to be a small looping video clip" fad to go away. Video clips of typing make no sense. The animation is distracting, it provides no useful information, and they always either loop too quickly (frustrating me because I lose my place and have to wait for the whole thing to come back), or go too slowly (frustrating me because it won't hurry up). A 3 second loop is great for a hams…
You can pause and edit the code inline...

#46Wow, very exciting! Already starting to use it. Question: How to embed a scrimba "video" on another page?
Support for that will come, but it might be a pro feature. Any specific use case you were thinking?

Just to post in blogs, github pages, etc. I'm biased but I think you would get free marketing if people embed it, and a paid feature for people to keep them private (password locked, whatever).
That way people who publish free educational content (freecodeacademy, me - example, a todo app tutorial: http://gun.js.org/think.html , etc.) would spread scrimba awareness. The inverse, sites that charge for classes - Udemy, etc., have a natural incentive to keep their content secret, which they'd have to pay for.

#48Would love to see something like this for golang. I mean the tour of go is already great, but this is yet another step better :-)
Re: Scrimba: a video format for communicating code
#49Wow, this is far much better for code than standard videos. Is it recorded using the scrimba.com website ? Is it only for web code ? The about page https://scrimba.com/about does not explain much.
Yes! You can sign up now and record your own casts. For now it's focused on client-side libraries, but we're looking at supporting server-side languages as well.
What languages are on the road map?
Also, really really well done!

#50Looks great on desktop. On my android though, it's slow, low-contrast, and a bit janky.
The desktop experience, though, is better than comparable stuff I've seen. Nice work.
