This sounds interesting. Someone willing to give it a shot and tell us how it went?

- alnayyir 17y agoCreator of the site is AWOL, for the record. Compiler/interpreter versions aren't being updated and his blog has been left for dead for over a year.
- tsetse-fly 17y agoNo need to sensationalize, he's still around: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=sah http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=sah Codepad is meant for simple snippets. I don't see anything wrong with the versions that he's currently providing.
- TimothyFitz 17y agoFrom talking to him recently in person, he's just super busy with his startup, which is taking off: http://saucelabs.com/ http://saucelabs.com/
- alnayyir 17y agoSee? This is the response I wanted. :) Not downvotes. :(
- sah 17y agoThat's me. Sauce Labs has indeed been keeping me ridiculously busy. But codepad is my favorite side-project, and I don't mean to neglect it. I'll find a free weekend and update interpreter versions once things are less crazy here!
- rwmj 17y agoNice, thanks for supporting OCaml. Could it autodetect the language using a few heuristics (or Bayesian analysis of existing submissions) instead of having the selection down the left hand side?
- alnayyir 17y agoThat might depend on whether or not he's been caching previous submissions. That and it sounds like a lot of hassle.
- tectonic 17y agoSaucelabs actually looks like just what I've been needing.
- 10ren 17y agoThe "Hello World Examples" for C was only 17 seconds old when I looked, so it seems there's some activity...
- harpastum 17y agoWorked well for a simple ruby sample [1]. I haven't tried anything complicated though. [1]http://codepad.org/HMPcd6Hk http://codepad.org/HMPcd6Hk
- xel02 17y agoI've used it quite a bit to test out both C and PHP. For basic snippets its great. I think it could be improved by tying in reference code. Perhaps mine the PHP manuals for sample code and put it in to allow editing.
