This is the first I'm hearing of repl.it and it looks like an amazing resource.

How does this work business-wise? How does it make money?

Edit: Will Julia be supported in the future? This is not good... https://repl.it/@asemic/ConsiderateBelatedAccounting

It's subscription-based to get advanced features: https://repl.it/site/pricing

Repl.it cannot add install packages and has similar issues with R as well. I hope they can add that feature.

I tried Julia as well to test the database feature. Unfortunately, when I `import HTTP`, I get "repl process died unexpectedly: signal killed". (julia 1.3.1 and HTTP v0.8.17)
