   Fascinating how alternative policing ideas went from a fringe to mainstream overnight. Whomever said "slowly at first then at all once" wasn't lying. Another interesting book for those who are curious about these topics is Th

   We have an upcoming teams feature that allows you to have almost a complete instance of repl.it for you, and we'll have special pricing for education, and maybe as part of it we'll add the checkbox. Thanks for the feedback. Feel f

   We're excited about it. Cloud/browser coding being normalized is great for us. I don't think what we're building is a direct competitor to IDEs -- you'll always need a repl in the same way you'll have a TV but

   Thanks for the kind words. I don't think repl.it provides anymore social features than say GitHub does. How do you currently handle those concerns with regards to social coding on GitHub?

   GitHub classroom is awesome and although it's been around for a while it has seen a lot of love recently, especially adding browser IDE integration and autograding. We at Repl.it worked closely with them to make it really easy for stud

    Hey, we don't let you delete Main.java because Repl.it is all about having sensible defaults, loading really quick, and not being overly fussy and configurable and allow for everything under the sun. However, we do have some configurat

    With the Repl.it integration kids need very minimal knowledge of git, if any. Try it.

    I disagree with the author that it will be "no code." But I would also not dismiss how much more productive the cloud and better devtools has made developers. And as much as people, especially on HN, like to pick on bootcamp gradu

    I think it's absolutely true that remote means less solidarity and connection between workers. Also hiring international remote workers are usually done on consulting basis, which less regulatory protections. I certainly see a world wh

    Most people waste so much time on the internet that you can simply channel this time into parenting, which is much more rewarding, and on net not lose any real work or focus time.

    I had a similar experience but it wasn't important to me and I let it go despite being a growing extension with 10s of thousands of users and lots of good reviews.

    Very cool! I ran it on repl.it via x11 but not sure it does the perf justice because of the network lag: https://repl.it/@amasad/lite

    I doubt you'd get the same quick & simple experience you have with Repl.it. This is more replacing your local VSCode, which is not what Repl.it aims to replace.

    We've made progress but remain not entirely satisfied with its API. This is a big focus for us now and hope to have something to announce soon.

    We just started from Basic because a) it's a good starting off point and b) it's good to be compatible with something so many people are familiar with. However, now are evolving the language towards something more modern. To that

    I just made line numbers optional and it kinda starts looking like EasyLang. I think they also started from Basic.
