Our take
Young students and workers in the tech industry are constantly being encouraged to add programming to their skill-set portfolio to prepare for a digital future. However, getting started with programming environments can be very difficult, requiring computer science knowledge to even boot the programming environment in the first place.

The website supports most popular programming languages such as C++, Javascript, and PHP, in addition to frameworks such as Django and Sinatra. The service can be accessed for free and provides access to everything required to program applications including libraries, tutorials, and collaborative capabilities.
The company has attracted millions of users, including some at major tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Stripe. In 2025, it raised $250 million in funding, raising the company's value to $3 billion. It will use this funding to expand its reach and operations and accelerate its product development.
