LiveScript VS Try It Online (TIO)

Fun fact: LiveScript is a FP-oriented language which compiles to JavaScript. It's been around for a while now :-) https://livescript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Too late. The name was taken when it was free. https://livescript.net/ (But seems inactive judging by GitHub). Actually a mostly quite nice little toy language. (Only the OOP part seems messed up a little bit; but besides that it looks quite clean). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I've been doing some research in this area: for day-to-day, quick and dirty, scripting purposes, if not Python, then what? I want something expressive: Python can be a bit verbose by default and isn't very good at oneliners. I want something that starts up fast, but can run a bit slower. It would be great if it had a REPL, but if compilation and/or startup are fast enough its lack would also be acceptable. The... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

LiveScript (https://livescript.net/) does this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

JavaScript is an extremely elegant language. It's syntax is relatively simple and extremely flexible. This has lead to things like CoffeeScript, LiveScript, and the explosion of transpiling. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

Except that sorts the list in reverse: https://tio.run/##Vc6xDsIwDATQPV9xYyJ5od2Qyo9UGYhIwFXkVlY68PUhKSDEctb5Lbc9y2OVsdZbTAh7CDlacWcDpFXBYIFe5R5tjtLgkLctP2P6U4ATZF48Lu2w/35xNOoy9aBem2ksuwrE5Gk@0UAjDd5sylLsZ1F2rtYX (Also a subtle off-by-one error, it should be 0 to |n|-1 and I to |n|-1.). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

How is this different from Try It Online https://tio.run ? - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Given your PL interpreters are written in Python, why not just share them as Python programs, optionally bundled with CPython? Are you concerned abput having a CPython dependency? PLs like Scala or Kotlin or Clojure depend on a backend (JVM, JS), so why not your PL? Or is the issue absolute simplicity? In which case, I suggest aiming at making it available via an online evaluator such as tio.run -- which boils... Source: about 2 years ago

TIO is actually quite good for that, even if it's more commonly associated with code golf. https://tio.run/. Source: over 2 years ago

Try It Online[0] seems to offer a very similar service - if you don't care about the collaboration aspect of it. It claims to be self-hostable[1]. glot.io[2] is another, which seems to fit more in the realm of "pastebin with runnable snippets". As I understand it, a big sell of repl.it is that they have some kind of collaborative editing support, which none of the alternatives I was able to find in a few minutes... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
