As some feared and predicted, Amazon is closing C9 in December.I learned to code on C( reading Michael Hartl's rail book. Can anyone recommend any alternative cloud based coding platforms ?

I think just unmigrated legacy accounts are going away, but you move it over the the same cloud IDE setup just pegged to a regular aws account https://c9.io/announcement https://c9.io/announcement

When was this announced? I seem to have completely missed it. Can someone link a previous discussion on HN about it?

Cloud9 is not shutting down. You just have to use AWS version of it.

<sarcasm>I'm still fearing that I won't be able to open Emacs tomorrow morning </sarcasm> Seriously though, your Editor is one of the most basic tools is as important as the chair you sit, or the keys to your house... you shouldn't depend on somebody else's computer to access edit your code.
