This seems like a solid product and I will definitely keep it in mind. One thing that I really like is the number of languages you support ( https://repl.it/languages ). I would recommend adding support for Elixir and Phoenix down the road. While the community is small (compared to other languages/frameworks), it is growing, and the community is great. Congrats on securing your funding and all the best!
Is the jobs site working? Mine says connecting (loading)
Python, the "second best language for everything", has had a huge impact for teaching people programming. Beginners can do useful and interesting things and solve real problems after a few hours of learning. And yet the number of times I've seen beginners completely discouraged or even give up programming forever because they have conda and pip and brew and pyenv installed and can't run a basic script after 4 hours o…
Wish php was better, it only outputs to the console.
No SQL. :(
No debugger.
Is there a similar service that’s not involved with VC?

Awesome job on the terminal-app-as-webpage concept. I like how it also fits in with your meta "IDE to learn programming" concept. It made slightly more sense to me when I saw it on context at this URL: https://repl.it/site/jobs
Yeah, the idea is that almost everyone's first computer program is a terminal program along the lines of: name = input('What is your name?\n') print('Hi, %s.' % name) ( https://name.amasad.repl.run/ ) Every programmer has experienced an intense sense of accomplishment when someone uses their program. The problem is that, until today, there was no easy way to share text and terminal-based programs. The bar to sharing…

I use it in all my lessons (1st yr degree) coding made simple again. Wish php was better, it only outputs to the console. No SQL. :( No debugger.
Someone really needs to figure a reasonable way of writing code on mobile/touchscreen. I would love a lisp drag and drop repl, I feel like its syntax could be well suited for this

Like sibling says, on mobile it's a pain. In general, when I look at a job posting, I just want to skim it. I don't want to interact with the webpage in any other way than "reading". I get it, this is clever. It supposedly weeds out poor applicants. But speaking for myself it just strikes me as annoying.
Do people really apply for jobs on mobile? If I came across it on mobile, I'd just go, oh okay, and read it later on my laptop or desktop. I'm an admitted anti-mobile person though. I am exceptionally skeptical that the mobile revolution will adequately replace the keyboard/mouse combination for high productivity tasks, and don't wish to see design move entirely in that direction.
If I came across it on mobile, how would I even know if I wanted to read it later?
