I was a huge fan of Repl.it while I was learning Ruby, but I was never able to leverage it into anything other than self-teaching. I have however, wasted many hours trying to get various local IDEs to replicate the experience of Repl.it, so that's gotta count for something.
In the end, I transitioned to Visual Studio Code, but VS Code doesn't have the same inline repl (or I've yet to get it to work correctly). It sucks by comparison, but it has the advantage of actually working locally.
- amasad 9y agoThanks for the lovely comment. Hopefully you can come back and use us at least for side-projects. Then maybe as you we get better and expand to service all your IDE needs you'll stick around to use it as a primary IDE. We're in it for the long haul and we'll get there.

- therealx 9y agoVisual Studio itself can do what you're looking for but no idea about VSCode.
- tedmiston 9y agoDid you try Jupyter notebooks? They make for pretty nice local REPLs.
