Repl.it

Repl.it is a San Francisco-based start-up and an online IDE (integrated development environment).[2] Its name comes from the acronym REPL, which stands for "read–evaluate–print loop". The service was created by Jordanian programmer Amjad Masad and Jordanian designer Haya Odeh in 2016.[3] Repl.it allows users to write code and build apps and websites using a browser.[4] Additionally, Repl.it allows users to share projects through various ways. They also host "jams", coding competitions based on a certain theme. Contest prizes often vary from a temporary account upgrade, money, cryptocurrency, or a gift card. A repl at Repl.it is an interactive programming environment. You can create a workspace in any number of languages, where you are given a container on a virtual machine where your code can run. In any given repl, there are two main parts - the editor and the console.
