Replit is a bit strange phenomena, they clearly are creating a huge buzz online, but I mingle a lot with university students and academics and I hardly ever heard anyone mentioning using, even sometimes when I explicitly ask them they don't seem to have heard of it? Generally curious if it is gaining traction and somehow I haven't bumped into others who use it.
