Try Python, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, QBasic, Forth ... (repl.it)

I selected QBasic then changed my mind but couldn't immediately figure out how to get back to the list of the languages. Clicking the logo of a website usually takes you back to the 'home page', which in this case I consider to be the list of languages. You have buttons at the top right, with the lambda taking me back to the language chooser. Maybe button labels, even tooltips would help. But I would definitely make the logo the 'home' button. Even refreshing the page didn't take me back.

Anyway, a minor complaint. A super-cool effort. I will now go play with it some more.

Also, at the moment something like this doesn't work at all (Python):

  while True:
      user_input = raw_input()
      if user_input is 'q':
          break
      else:
          print user_input

One comment: in python, technically tabs are equivalent to 8 spaces, but in your REPL it is equivalent to 4 spaces. Is that a modification to the version of python you are using, or did you make a decision to match 4 spaces (BTW: I really like this, but it breaks some older code)

I will have a lot of fun either with the app itself or the source code. Thanks!

EDIT: I take that back. Lua runs, Python and Ruby do not.

* I know about os.listdir() but I wanted the permissions.

* I automatically did a ^W to delete a word and closed the tab. I don't feel like opening it again or I would probably have more.

* I realize that since this is a CPython -> JS converter that the REPL is running in my browser and no on a server (AFAIK) so it's not like this attempting to hack someone's server, but I found it interesting to probe the environment.

Importing urllib hangs zlib imports, but the compress and compressobj methods fail

> import zlib

> zlib.compress("askldas")

Good and nostalgic memories of Programming with the Basic.

If you're still following this thread, amasad and max99x, I have a simple question: how many hours did you two put into this?
