Open Source CoffeeScript Programming Languages for ChromeOS

This repository preserves an early open-source snapshot of the service that became Replit, a platform for writing and running code directly in the browser. The project’s core idea is instant, zero-setup programming: open a page, pick a language, type, and run—no local installs or environment wrangling. It combines an in-browser editor with a runnable backend or sandbox so code can execute safely and return output in seconds. Sharing and collaboration are first-class: code can be saved, forked, and embedded, which makes it useful for tutorials, classrooms, and quick demos. The architecture leans on simple web technologies so the learning curve stays low for educators and new programmers. Even as the commercial product evolved, this archive shows the foundational approach to making coding accessible anywhere with just a link.
