For many years I've recommended Repl.it for beginners and used it in a pinch from public computers. It's a great service that makes programming more accessible.

Aside from celebrity tweets, what is your process for adding support for a new language? I've observed, for example, that Repl.it wraps some open-source interpreters like ngn/apl and JS-Forth.



Awesome -- thank you!

We wrote about the process it takes to add a language here: https://blog.repl.it/elisp

But also, since we announced `.replit` which allows you to configure the run button you can pretty much build your own environment without waiting for us to support it natively: https://docs.repl.it/repls/dot-replit

What are you looking to add?


Doesn't look like you have K.

I'm the author of a JS-based K implementation[0], and ngn has another which is implemented in C[1]. Many of my projects involve making browser-based development environments or compilers in one form or another[2].
