Rewriting it:

> Also the CEO (Amjad Masad) bullied and threatened a college student (who had interned at repl.it previously and was familiar enough to be e-mailing the CEO back and forth) working on open-source (an open-source product very similar to repl.it) to shut down their project

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you peeved because I left out some details?

You can read the thread I linked. Riju.codes is no more similar to Repl.it than any of the other hundreds of online multi-language REPLs. The argument that the Masad made (that Radon copied internal secrets from repl.it) were unfounded, and the numerous attempts from Radon to ask for clarification yielded silence from Masad.

Saying his project is very similar to tell.it is like saying hackernews is very similar to Facebook because they both have text boxes and a reply button.

tell.it? I thought the CEO told him to take down "Riju: fast online playground for every programming language"

It looks like an auto-correct typo (I believe they meant "repl.it")
