   So it's not the loop -- it's the printing of a lot of data really fast. Here's an infinite loop with a small sleep with no issue in it: https://repl.it/@amasad/forever It's funny, it's both a r

   Thanks so much for the kind words! And apologies for said incident. I think you might've been caught in a recently deployed intrusion & spam detection systems. We've been battling crypto miners, evil hackers trying to launch a

   That answer is a bit outdated because we open-sourced one of the core pieces of our infra: Prybar https://github.com/replit/prybar We'll be open-sourcing some more. As for how Multiplayer is implemented, we'l

   How so? There are a bunch of anecdotes in the post beyond interviews and if you go to our feedback boards you'll see that people are using it in schools and all sorts of different scenarios.

   I think it's a reference to multi-player clojure REPL in Atom. I haven't looked too deeply but from what I can gather it uses Atom Teletype for the editing and they figured out how to connect to the same Clojure REPL server. http

    Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. We've been using it for interviews for more than a month and we've been really happy with it. It's worth noting that excellent folks at Coderpad have a lot of features that complements the ed

    Same for me with Stoicism: I read everything modern book on it and while it was useful nothing comes close to when I actually decided to pick up the classics, starting with Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

    That's why I think MongoDB's new license which prevents AWS etc from hosting as a service without open sourcing makes sense ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18229452 ). Amazon barely contributes anything back

    The company is most comfortable being at war. That's the first thing I noticed when I started working there. People glorified the days when they were fighting head-to-head with Google or before that with the other social networks. They

    Also it makes sense if you're a platform, or you're an infrastructure company. You're motivated to help startups building on your platform succeed, or help prove an entirely new category you're building infrastructure fo

    I think the Lisp community invented tools that, had they been successful, would've altered the course of history with regards to devtools. I wrote an essay on this: https://amasad.me/disintegrated

    That's true, especially for client-side based online IDEs. At Repl.it we have a hybrid approach where a lot of the IDE-like functions like code intellisense run on the server: https://repl.it/blog/intel

    Where did you get this from? The blog you're reading this on is built and hosted on Repl.it ( https://amasad.me/__repl ) and it's source is 50 files and if you count node_modules that's thousands of files.

    I think for someone not familiar with repl.it and just reading this might get the impression that we are anti-IDE features. That is not at all the point. In fact we think Code Intellisense is essential. We start a Language Server for many o

    I've prototyped something like this in the past using n-grams and it was surprisingly effective. When I think it gets really interesting is if you marry ML/NLP tactics with traditional static code analysis. So you can imagine the
