The university that I teach at used Replit a few years ago before migrating away.

I used it in our larger Programming Languages courses with 200-300 students, replit was the guaranteed alternative to offer if someone had a problem with say local installation of Clojure or Go or Rust.

At some point in 2023 or 2024 Replit became extremely restrictive in their Education offerings.

Looking at replit front page I guess they pivoted away from Education.

I can't even tell what Replit offers now as they don't even have a free plan anymore?

PS I moved all my courses to Github Codespaces as Plan B. It was a bit more work but heck even Prolog works fine there. I mean its just Ubuntu.
