Jun 14, 2016A Swift REPL
In this age of containers it's much easier to run arbitrary code in the cloud. The harder parts are scaling the service, making it reliable, and —as in this case— creating cool and useful experiences. When we looked at existing Swift REPL implementations on the web we found that none delivered a stateful and interactive environment. Just an editor with a run button.[](preview end) As for us, as much as possible, we try to create an environment similar to the original inspiration for our website: DrScheme (now DrRacket).
Jun 14, 2016Hello World
We're excited to launch this new part of our site. First, we have a place to share with you all the exciting features we're building (things that don't fit in a 140 characters and a GIF). You can also look forward to posts sharing what we learn in engineering and design. Second, we're putting all the informational pages for our product and company here. This way you don't have to download tons of JavaScript that is intended for the development environment when all you want to do is read words. That'll also make it easier for Google to index our stuff. For now, you can check out our new about us page, sign up for our classroom product beta, or checkout our new languages landing pages.
