I have been a user of repl.it for quite some time. I use it occasionally to work on small projects with my younger sister who is a CS major. I would actually really love something like repl.it for my work. There are a ton of places where the normal code, review, deploy, validate, etc lifecycle of development is way too slow for small projects or for prototyping.

That's exactly how we use it internally at Repl.it and honestly it's almost like an organizational superpower. We can for example deploy a slack bot to help with deployment in minutes instead of days, and it's all collaborative. Working on internal tools resembles more gardening than building at this point -- constant improvement and evolution.

If you care to chat about this use-case and help us learn more please email me amjad@repl.it

I'm really interested; could you point to some walkthrough/demo of such a workflow? I'm having trouble seeing it.

Same, I love it for hacking together a quick prototype or testing some small bit of library functionality I need for a larger project.

Along with language and library docs, it’s usually one of the tabs I’ve got open when working on a project.
