These kinds of things are sometime useful if you need to quickly hack on a language you don't normally use. If you don't normally use that language then you are not used to the install, the package system, the environment variables and hacks you need to get it to work properly, the troubleshooting decision trees, etc.
I agree if python is your main bread and butter language doing REPL locally (or debugging with VS Code) would be much nicer.
- hawthornio 5y agoI used to use replit for this, but I much prefer my vscode setup so I’ve switched to using docker (e.g., running `haskell`). But I agree that hacking in a new language is a good use case of repl.it
- tehlike 5y agoVscode runs in browser and we will see a new startup in this space doing better than replit, with less effort by outsourcing ide to Microsoft which does great ides. You can also checkout gitpod in the meantime.
