Replit: Web IDE + AI

Replit – Build software faster

Replit is an AI-powered software development & deployment platform for building, sharing, and shipping software fast.

"I’ve had something I want to build for a while but was too busy to try and didn’t have any good programmers available to do. I asked Replit to do it. The experience was staggering. It was as though I were managing a group of smart engineers. For the first time I really didn’t have to look at the code. And what I think would normally have taken a week or more of concerted effort just a year ago was accomplished in an hour and exceeded my expectations. Most tellingly on every error I could describe easily what was incorrect and it promptly and correctly fixed all errors before moving on to the next task.
At the end of the hour I had a fully fledged python web app deployed in the cloud and I hadn’t been a dev op or programmer once."

Replit originally was only a REPL. However, the Ace editor was eventually implemented, allowing for editing of programs as well. In 2017, Replit switched to the Monaco code editor, the same editor used in Visual Studio Code. Due to issues with mobile support, the code editor was switched to CodeMirror over 2021 - 2022.[12] This decision was met with backlash and criticism from the Replit community, which eventually calmed down after bugs and major issues were addressed.
