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.

Replit embeds pre-booted programming environments within web browsers, allowing users to begin coding immediately without having to set up the client. 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. It has raised considerable funding to spend on hiring talent and further developing its product as it moves to capture more success going forwards.
