Sure it well. We have a lot of copycats as well. But as Elon Musk likes to say: the only moat that matters is the continuous pace of innovation and the value of open-source outwieghs any contrived barrier to entry.

Hey Salam, thanks for your PRs, definitely appreciated. I'll figure out what's the hold up -- I'm sure there is a reason -- and I'll make sure to get back to you

Haskell support is planned. The idea is to cover as much surface area as possible. Help would be appreciated too.

Repl.it founder here. Happy to answer questions. But also I'd like to point out that this is not the only "universal" project we're working on. See: - Prybar: Universal REPL interface https://github.com/r

Crates would totally be possible. AFAICT it follows the exact workflow we're trying to standardize.

Exactly mirrors our thinking! Our number one priority is that the programming experience on our site is flawless. We're playing hardmode though because we're dedicated to making the experience across languages the same. And that&#

No not yet. And it hasn't been requested all that much but UPM works on OS X and I'm sure it's straightforward to make it work on Windows.

Yes please! Hmu if you'd like to chat about it.

I think where your mind is going is a form of Mccarthyism or "guilt by association." In a public conversation, connecting someone to a label like "anti-vaxxer" or "truther," even if you don't make the actu

I didn't even say anything against vaccines. Simply, it's not the primary driver of decrease in childhood mortality. You're blinded by ideology if you can't have a conversation with resorting to name-calling and reducti

I think you're missing a basic understanding of what an "analogy" is. Hard to keep this conversation going.

This is like saying we've been 'programming' since Ada Lovelace wrote the first program in the 1840, which is silly to say the least. The CDC starts measure after a vaccine has passed the 'licensure' process: https

Infant mortality is probably the biggest factor in "under 5 years old" mortality rate. However, even if you look at children mortality overall, it follows a similar trend: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ch

Not sure if vaccines are relevant here because -- as per the CDC data, and contrary to popular belief -- child mortality rates were on a downward trend well before the introduction of vaccines in the mid 1960s. The CDC claim it's had a

Fake news! Soy has orders of magnitude more estrogen than animal products, even the hormone-implanted ones. > The 1.9 nanograms of estrogen in implanted beef is also minuscule compared to 225 nanograms of estrogen in potatoes, 340 nanogr

Would be interesting to see what causes high estrogen in the studied women. My guess would be obesity, and potentially plant-based diet high in soy products.
