prybar

We started work on it but ran into some issues. It's there but hidden. If someone is an OCaml expert consider contributing to our interpreter interface Prybar. - https://repl.it/l/ocaml - https://github.com/replit/prybar We're also hiring someone to work on languages at Repl.it: https://repl.it/@util/jerbs#open-positions/language_hacker.t...

The trend of putting developer tools behind a unified API is just awesome. Especially great for tool makers like us at Repl.it. We're investing a lot in this area too: - UPM: universal package manager https://github.com/replit/upm - Prybar: universal REPL interface for interpreters https://github.com/replit/prybar

I'm curious about this as well. From what I can see, all the components are open-source. Documentation - https://docs.repl.it/ Repl.it evaluation server - https://github.com/replit/polygott Universal interpreter for REPL - https://github.com/replit/prybar Client-side protocol - https://github.com/replit/crosis Evaluation sandbox - https://github.com/replit/replbox

Thanks so much for the mention. It's indeed a lot of work, but we've done so much with such a small team and it's only accelerating as we layer all of our solutions on top of each other. We're solving one problem at a time with focus on patterns and abstractions that makes it easily extensible and could support virtually any language. With the Universal Package Manager (https://github.com/replit/upm) we're trying to encode the best practices in package management behind a single easy-to-use interface. One of the most fun features is that you can `import` or `require` a package and we'll just guess what you want to do, install the dependencies for you, generate a spec and lock file. With prybar (https://github.com/replit/prybar) we're trying to create a universal interactive programming experience that behaves roughly the same for every la

As a regular user and promoter of REPL.it, I like it very much and therefore submitted two PR’s [1][2] after seeing a blog post about how to contribute to it [3]. Unfortunately, those PR’s have been lingering up there for the past 4 months without any meaningful feedback. I fully understand that you are a business and therefore there are priorities but it would be great to get any kind of feedback on them in order for me proceed with further actions one way or another. Anyway, thank you for providing such a nice tool for free and open-sourcing it!

Repl.it founder here. Happy to answer questions. But also I'd like to point out that this is not the only "universal" project we're working on. See: - Prybar: Universal REPL interface https://github.com/replit/prybar - Polygott: Universal docker image for all languages (we support) https://github.com/replit/polygott Between these three you'd be able to add your favorite language to Repl.it (patches welcome). We have a write up on how to do that using elisp as an example: https://repl.it/site/blog/elisp

If you add it to Prybar[1] that's half the battle. We're also working on open-sourcing more parts of the system to make it easier to contribute languages etc. [1]: https://github.com/replit/prybar

https://github.com/replit/prybar/blob/master/languages/nodej... Sorry to be the license police, but I think that the attribution for embedding another project like that is a little unfair to the original authors, especially since this project is the more restrictive GPL 2.0. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2183... "The fourth paragraph says that the copyright notice in the second paragraph must be reproduced. Users of the license [sic] substitute the [fullname] with their actual name. That is what constitutes "proper attribution" in the mind of the MIT: every user of the software can find out who wrote it if they want to."

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'll be doing a blogpost on it soon.

Definitely on the roadmap. We're working on making it easy to add languages by creating common abstractions. As a start we just open-sourced Prybar: "a universal interpreter front-end" https://github.com/replit/prybar
