- prirai 3y agoI've tried mathb and it feels amazing and blazing fast. Perhaps the best way to go for typing in quick snippets and sharing with others.
- o1y32 3y agoI would argue that for such a small website (in the sense of both codebase size and traffic), which language is used does not matter, and is almost purely a personal preference.
- susam 3y agoYes, it was personal preference indeed. I have written a little more about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32980708 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32980708
- vjust 3y agoI checked out MathB.in. Neat stuff!! I've started and stopped with the Lisp/Schema family several times. When other languages frustrate me, I go back to lisp for some therapy.
