I'm unsure about the Scheme that is included. It claims to be R6RS which requires support for exact numerical operations including big integers and rationals. Currently it seems to use only double precision floating point instead of exact integer values!

#13Would it be possible to implement user input via the REPL instead of the current javascript prompts? Would be much less clunky. Also, at the moment something like this doesn't work at all (Python): while True: user_input = raw_input() if user_input is 'q': break else: print user_input
This problem happens with Python/Lua/Ruby because they're compiled from their original lower-level implementations using Emscripten. Which means everything have to work synchronously and there is no way to stop execution in order to get the user's input, unless we transform the code into CPS, which will probably make it much slower.

#14Awesome work guys! Keep at it and I would love to play around with tutorials in the future.
Thanks, we'll keep you posted for new features.

Thanks, will look into this.

One comment: in python, technically tabs are equivalent to 8 spaces, but in your REPL it is equivalent to 4 spaces. Is that a modification to the version of python you are using, or did you make a decision to match 4 spaces (BTW: I really like this, but it breaks some older code)

#18I am amazed, more so by the fact that you made the source code available (and also since it's made with node.js).
I will have a lot of fun either with the app itself or the source code. Thanks!

In python you can use tabs or spaces (however many) as long as it is consistent. Don't mix tabs and spaces. 4 spaces recommended.

Everything happens on client-side the server is just for saving sessions and file serving. So technically its not written in node.js. Node is only a dependency for the development tools we use (coffee-script, mini-server for development). However the server running repl.it is written in Node, its nothing fancy but it makes us run cheap and it will be open-sourced soon.
