Hey HN, author and Repl.it cofounder here. It's been a long journey to get to what we're calling 1.0 and HN have been there on every step of the way. We started working on what became Repl.it back in school where we were tired of setting up the development environment on every machine we wanted to code on. It was at a time where everything was moving to the cloud and we thought that, naturally, coding would follow su…

Any chance of Swift 4 support?

My favorite online REPL for Clojure. It would be great if Parinfer [0] were integrated into the Clojure (and Scheme?) REPL. [0] https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/

Thanks! Ooooh TIL re parinfer. I'll look into it. Will check it out. Also, look forward to on-the-fly package installation for Clojure!

Wow, that was a lightning-fast response!

Thank you very much!

Yes doing a round of new langauge versions soon!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just to be clear, Google using the Classroom product doesn't implicitly grant you permission to use their logo on your marketing materials. Did you obtain permission from the listed entities to use their logos?

I probably did, it's been a year though so I'm not entirely sure. For what it's worth this really is not needed and I actually hate the "look at all the logos" sections on websites so I just pushed a fix to remove it.

It’s hard to make a man happy without making another one sad. I hate that it’s true, but look at all the logos you recognize using this product is the only way I can ever get my completely non tech literate boss to sign off on any new tech. :(

One of the main things preventing me from doing a really cool integration would be an API to programmatically create some REPLs and fill them with code.

This would make Repl.it a fantastic product for API example code testing.

We have a query param that ?code that can prefill the editor text. I'm interesting in what sort of things are you trying to build. Email me? amjad@repl.it

I was a huge fan of Repl.it while I was learning Ruby, but I was never able to leverage it into anything other than self-teaching. I have however, wasted many hours trying to get various local IDEs to replicate the experience of Repl.it, so that's gotta count for something. In the end, I transitioned to Visual Studio Code, but VS Code doesn't have the same inline repl (or I've yet to get it to work correctly). It suc…

Visual Studio itself can do what you're looking for but no idea about VSCode.
