At the risk of giving away a million dollar idea; nobody's gonna wanna really edit things in the browser. Too risky and missing features of whatever their favorite editor is. But how about letting people push their code up via git? So you could have a runnable browser window open, push your changes up to your runnable repo and then hit run? If this does turn out to be the key that breaks this open please remember it…

Was this an intended joke on Heroku?

Heroku started out as "develop Rails in your browser", but quickly pivoted into "host Rails in the cloud".

Is this javascript only?

node.js (backend javascript), and frontend javascript and css. Looking to support more backend languages in the near future (Ruby, Python, PHP, more)

Check out jsrepl. It's what I used for http://replpad.com (collaborative python editing/execution)
