I use repl.it a lot but the python autocompleter is seriously lacking.


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


How much of a priority is supporting automated tests? I'm trying to think about how a repl would interact with a test runner.


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 Jest out of the box: https://repl.it/@amasad/try-jest).


Thanks!

This example always runs the tests when you hit cmd-enter. I was wondering how you would have a running program with tests.

I looked in https://repl.it/ibuiltthis but couldn't easily find examples of NodeJS projects. Could you point me at one? (Feel free to point me at a better forum for these noob questions.)


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 be found here: https://repl.it/@amasad/blog


holy crap -- that's really neat. Being able to run and tinker with code snippets in a blog like that is a killer feature.

Being hosted on Repl.it -- can you still SEO things for google?


Yeah I don't see why not. We're planning on creating a page for websites hosted on Repl.it.


How does Repl.it make money to stay afloat? pay yourself?


Look at repl.it/pricing you can pay us for private repls (kind of like GitHub). Or if you're a school you can pay us for a really nice coding LMS.

But also, we're VC-backed, however, we're not the kind of startup that wants to grow at all expenses. We want to get that dough.


I too want you all to stay in business.


Any chance you have an ETA?


May by the latest. But most likely will get something out for python soon.


Looking forward to it!


Thank you!!! Best of luck.
