How many different teams/companies/individuals have made some sort of "run this code in a sandbox and stream it to a browser" type tools? I personally made one at my previous job in a few weeks, Replit exists, there's the Rust Playground, and probably countless others.

It's just not that hard of a problem to solve, and not that special. Docker and Linux containers in general are the real innovation that has made it so easy to implement these types of services.

Really pathetic on Replit's part to feel threatened and go after a weekend project like this.
