In high school, I think I worked for a company that has prior art on deployless software. We wrote php and perl directly on the prod server with vi through putty. No deploy necessary!
What's old is new again I guess.
- reallydontask 7y agoMy first company did this with .net, so we could have had a full IDE in production, had we wanted to. We actually did have Visual Studio installed in at least one test server
- kreetx 7y agoWell, with compiled languages and multiple servers it does get a bit more complex. But yes, these online editor products have been created before and afaik they rarely get significant traction. Yet, even a small user base might make it profitable, so it does make sense, and hence these companies.

Compiling (and basically anything) can be done as a cgi script (https://github.com/RhysU/c99sh https://github.com/RhysU/c99sh), I bet you could go a long way with that on a network drive or with an rsync daemon.

- MrLeap 7y agoNope, it was a COBRA administration company.

Dark makes it safe [1], so you can start doing it again. [1] https://medium.com/darklang/how-dark-deploys-code-in-50ms-771c6dd60671 https://medium.com/darklang/how-dark-deploys-code-in-50ms-77...
