We have no plans and I see no reason to make you have to sign up. (Although to cut down on abuse some things aren't available for anonymous users like long-term web hosting).
You can also go to repl.it/languages and see all the langauges.
As for our plans to become an IDE: we've given ourselves the hard task of being a REPL-first IDE and to always load in under 2 seconds. More here: https://repl.it/blog/platform https://repl.it/blog/platform
For the landing page: we've found that most people coming through there go through the signup/login flow anyways so we've emphasized that. You can still get to the languages in the footer.
- _sword 8y agoCongrats on the fundraising and the momentum Amjad!
- amasad 8y agoThank you!
- solarkraft 8y ago> we've found that most people coming through there go through the signup/login flow anyways This baffles me. Why? Don't people just want to mash something into a REPL quickly (step in between: write the first one or two letters of the language you want to use and press enter)? That's certainly how I use it ...
- amasad 8y agoOh most people will google "repl.it ruby" and get to that directly. We also just discussed this and we're adding a language selector on the homepage.
