Scala is great and we would love to have it. But the core philosophy behind repl.it is that everything has to be client-side. We're not very experienced with the JVM languages, but we are planning to experiment in loading them inside a Java Applet. Not sure how doable is this, would appreciate some feedback.
ClojureScript?

Same comment as the GP. I felt like you're breaking a convention by not having the logo go back to the chooser page, and by not returning to the chooser on refresh/revisit.
Website conventions? We think of repl.it as a webapp, not a website. Once you load a language the app remembers your language and loads it for you on next page load, and if you want to change your language you click the language selector button (which I agree is not that clear at the moment).
Cool app!
The webpage at http://repl.it/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.

I wonder whether Haskell is on their todo list. GHC's LLVM backend [1] might be helpful. [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler...
Without functions, you really don't have very much of the Haskell language available. It's a partial repl with a fraction of the language at best.

Then it should also load the last program you were working on -- and, if possible, the output from the interpreter as well. Cool app!

Thanks for trying it out. * The ^W is fixable, but I'm not sure how I personally feel about hijacking fundamental browser shortcuts. We'll look into it though. * Regarding the environment, in general, multi-threading and multi-processing (and anything that depends on them) are not supported, since Emscripten translates the code to JS rather than emulating a machine. * The Emscripten virtual filesystem has a simple si…

I will note that when copying the text out of the interpreter, the prompt (>) doesn't copy (I assume that you may be using a CSS :after or :before decorator, though I didn't look). Sometimes even the newline itself didn't copy. For that post I had to cleanup all of the text so that it would display properly. This may be an issue you want to look at if you want to support people copy/pasting stuff that they are workin…

You might be hitting the fact that QBasic actually requires keywords to be in capitals. The original IDE did the conversion for you, but repl.it doesn't. We should really be more lenient about those. For now, check the existing examples and use your trusty caps lock.
The actual QuickBASIC compiler allowed any case for keywords. The lack of line numbers was a bit confusing too - my first inclination when seeing a BASIC prompt is to type 10 PRINT "hello" 20 GOTO 10 Aside from that, it seems to work as expected (at least in the quick tests I tried).
10: PRINT "hello"
GOTO 10
label: PRINT "hello"
GOTO labelGood and nostalgic memories of Programming with the Basic.

Wonderful, Nice to see QBasic there. These days its easier to write for modern High Level languages, as they are easily installed and available everywhere. But the classic and beautiful languages are hard to find and even talked about. Good and nostalgic memories of Programming with the Basic. :)
