riju VS repl.it

Thanks for linking this. This is actually a superior offering to replit. They recently removed the ability to access a simple repl without logging in. Now you a) have to login and b) have to deal with this obtuse IDE-in-a-browser project creation shit. It's so many extra steps before I can run code.

I just want a URL in which I can run some code. https://riju.codes/ is literally that. Thanks!

An option is to do what I've done with my lang, Claro, getting the compiler and/or REPL hosted online on Riju. The maintainer is a very helpful guy that gave thorough docs you can follow for getting your language added. Check out https://riju.codes for the top level thing, and check out https://riju.codes/claro for an example what it looks like for a side project language to run there. Only issue there is you shouldn't expect regular redeploys as you continue working on the language. I just ask nicely every 3 or 4 months when I have some big change I'd like represented there and he redeploys.

There's the source code for such a site, if that would help: https://github.com/radian-software/riju

Docker + heavily restricted user + firewalls.. seems to get you much of the way there. I am aware that some work was done back in the pre-Docker day with Ruby's online sandbox to neuter Ruby's ability to make certain syscalls, but I imagine Docker, eBPF, or even using WebAssembly makes it a lot easier now.

Might as well link to an open source alternative: https://riju.codes/

Fun fact: Whenever I want to remember the name of this project, I just head over to https://HN.algolia.com and find out on the front page thanks to one of the most upvoted HN posts of all time, "Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424195

You should check out https://riju.codes it's really not that hard to get any old language running there :). It's a couple config files. I managed to get my language hosted there and the maintainer was really helpful in the process https://riju.codes/claro

Same here. However it did point me in the direction of the ex-interns awesome project which I used very often for technical interviews: https://riju.codes/

Faz fork do https://riju.codes (https://github.com/raxod502/riju) e implementa suporte pra matlab.

I miss the old repl.it, so I use https://riju.codes.

It took 2 years of work to get something working and in 2011 we launched on HN (2011 web archive snapshot here https://web.archive.org/web/20111007050930/http://repl.it/ and HN launch here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3056490). It was the first of its kind and it inspired a lot of projects and still does today. It was totally open-source (https://github.com/replit-archive/repl.it) and after the launch it was used as infrastructure by Codecademy (which later employed me) and Udacity and many others to deliver interactive coding in the browser. I was thrilled about that.

That was a clone of Replit that we made work at Codecademy. I started working on Replit (or repl.it) back when I was a student in Jordan. I didn't have a laptop so every time I wanted to get some programming done I had to setup a development environment at the university or at work. The idea for Replit was when you needed a repl to do some coding you should easily get one from anywhere including a mobile device. I thought it would benefit many people, especially those who don't have the means to buy expensive computers.

Now, a lot of people implicitly assume that in a dispute between for-profit company and an open-source project, the for-profit company must be in the wrong. But there is some line that it's unethical to cross in copying a former employer's product (if you don't believe that, you can stop reading now, because no argument will convince you) and I think to someone who knew Replit's architecture well, this project would clearly
