I'm not sure I would either and I'm the CEO. I love Emacs. I'll work to convince myself to use it as my primary IDE and if I did maybe then others would. For now, I'll use it for launching microservices, quick experiment

On the roadmap. Specifically the "explore" section is coming very soon.

Yes we aim for 2 seconds loadtime irrespective of the environment (we maybe a bit of the mark in some cases but not too far off) and part of the post was about reassuring folks like you that although it will increase in power it doesn'

Incidentally the first interpreter on repl.it was scheme. I was going through SICP and was tired of installing Dr Scheme everywhere. Yes I love both these languages and will add support for them soon.

Fullstack apps support was just released to do so not many examples on our forum. If you go to https://repl.it/languages/express you'll see a simple scaffold for ExpressJS. I started moving my blog to Repl.it, can

I probably did, it's been a year though so I'm not entirely sure. For what it's worth this really is not needed and I actually hate the "look at all the logos" sections on websites so I just pushed a fix to remove i

Yes, eventually. As I said in a sibling thread, we intend to open-source our protocol/images so that we can do things like, use your own editor/local setup with Repl.it. Or eject completely from the platform.

We've been charging money for a while and have customers. See https://repl.it/site/pricing The repl itself is free though (unless you want private projects you can pay, kind of like Github).

Oh, I could see how this could be misleading. So the open-source tech you linked to is outdated -- we moved everything from the client-side to our own infra (because we wanted to do things like open a port). We intend to open source the bac

Repls are container-based. We control how much resources each repl can use and so we can control how it much it costs. We do swap out idle repls and wake them up on the first request that comes in (heroku style).

Hey HN, author and Repl.it cofounder here. It's been a long journey to get to what we're calling 1.0 and HN have been there on every step of the way. We started working on what became Repl.it back in school where we were tired of

We do support that in our Classroom product ( https://repl.it/classroom ) so it'd be pretty easy to expose that in our repl interface. Might be able to knock this out in an afternoon. (For NodeJS developers we support Je

Yes, we're on it. We're implementing a language-server-protocol LSP for Python and most of our languages. Coming out soon.

Like the demo was released and accessible in the app? Or did you see it in the RN JS code?

I wonder what the `CSPlaygroundGraphQLFriendsQuery` query is meant for. It sounds like some testing/development thing.

Wanted to drop in a quick review of Airship (disclaimer: I got to know the founders through the experience of being early users). We, at Repl.it, started using it for a very risky rewrite of a core part of our product -- the IDE ( https:&#x

Last time I checked (maybe 6-9 months ago) it was missing a lot. Did they make progress in reaching parity?

Nice! I spent in inordinate amount of time recreating emacs key bindings in MacOS using Karabiner -- everything from editing text to scrolling to switching windows -- before the latest release of MacOS broke it. I found a replacement but it

Kids, btw, still like to build websites like this. At Repl.it we have a lot of teenagers using our product. Here are some of my favorite 90s style website: - Turn the volume one for this one and peep the marquee in the title: http:/&#

I second this and would add that powerlifting, done right, would fix your posture and you'll naturally get into the proper pose for everyday things (picking something off the floor).

Excuse me if this question is too basic but how does a purely functional package manager work with a side-effectful package installation? In Python (or basically any other language package manager) you can run arbitrary scripts (post-instal

To add to this, one other way programming is getting harder is that there is no incremental path to becoming a developer. In the past, you could easily become a programmer by accident. You wanted to edit your MySpace page, google around, le
