Competition is good and all that, but from my vantage point it seems like a slow-loading and ad-ridden version of codepad.org: http://codepad.org/ Edit: That said, ideone does have an API.

Yeah, the ad-ridden part bothers me the most. I immediately closed the window once I saw the page plastered with ads without even trying it out to see if it was any good. That's just not something I'd ever want to use.

The output page does look pretty interesting, specially for debugging code collaboratively as one can share the output URL. The page contains execution time, errors and the code, very well arranged.

That said, 'print 5' in python took 11 seconds.

I tried to run this:

public class Foo { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("foo"); } }

And got an error "class Foo should be in a file named Foo.java". Sweet!

Syntax highlighting doesn't seem to do anything. Isn't it a little grand to be calling this an IDE?

Adblock does a good job of removing ads here:

A tool like this isn't the place for an ad-supported model. This is a place to work with text, and the colorful, animated, image-based ads are simply too distracting to do any real work for more than a minute or two.

If you name the class 'Main' it works fine.

They have an "insert template" button which kind of clarifies that.
