IANAL, but as someone who has used both tio.run and repl.it, I have difficulty seeing what sort of “competition” this constitutes (Riju, in my eyes, being very very similar to tio).
Otherwise I would expect tio to have received some threatening emails as well (maybe they have?).
I think the issue was that he was a previous employee. Normally I'd say "yeah, no problem, make a competitor" but he's been exposed to the internal workings of the company.
He should probably stop working with computers altogether going forward as they are a company who uses computers after all.
I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of people are hired because of experience they have doing similar things at prior companies.
