#2I'm not really clear on what Anjuna does, but it doesn't seem to square up with the capsule summary on this page, since it's based on SGX (actually it seems like a HAL adapter over a bunch of different enclave technologies?) --- which would make it hard to adapt to normal applications, and also not necessarily immune to vulnerabilities like Meltdown and Spectre.

Furthermore if you open a port from the repl you've just deployed. Here is a gif of the whole thing: https://repl.it/public/images/blog/server.gif

#9Repl.it looks awesome.
