Sorry if it isn't super highlighted, but if you scroll down a bit, you'll see that I support most languages you'd want to use this for (current notable exceptions are Go and Obj-C, the former of which is coming soon). Here's the list:
c, c#, c++, clojure, coffeescript, haskell, java, javascript, lua, php, python, ruby, scala, scheme
As for your philosophical objection, I think the true value prop of CoderPad is a bit more nuanced than you make it seem, respectfully. The primary benefits as I see them are twofold:
1. The right kind of candidate is wowed. It is a real fish landing back in the ocean moment. "Finally, this works like I've always dreamed it should." You look really sexy administering that interview.
2. It can help you see candidates who have a firm grasp of programming but not quite a great hold on syntax do better. I would argue the former is more important, and CoderPad let's you see them experiment with syntax without having to rack their brains over whether the parameter goes before "do" in ruby.
- epaga 13y agoI do think it could be highlighted better that other languages are supported. I almost didn't sign up because I thought it was Ruby only after the tutorial. It would obviously be ideal to have a demo for each language you support, but even if you simply highlight a bit clearer which languages you support right in the top part of the page rather than as a bullet point further down, that should really help your conversion rate.
