Hey Deadgrey,
You're totally right. I'm not sure API is the best word for it, but haven't found a better one. Would love your thoughts!
I've heard a bunch of crazy usecases from HN over the past day but my original one was to simply take some of the python and R scripts I had, and without much work (a few clicks actually) be able to execute them from my frontnd js, or from rails workers. It worked really well so we decided to see if others might find it useful too.
It's badass to see what others are coming up with in the API Library, hoping that can be a valuable page for everyone. And I imagine when we figure out fair pricing, we can actually make this significantly cheaper than a dedicated server for these processes.
Please, continue to send feedback like this. You're awesome.
