Typing.io: Typing Practice for Programmers

This tool is perfect. - I'll recommend to you that you're marketing it all wrong. - I'd make this into a tech-interview/learn a new language site. Before I crack any book for any language, I download gists of the code and start typing it out.

Imagine, python/c the hard way in this? What is a namespace? What is an import? Inline explanations of what you're doing would go a long way.

Dare I say it, this could be the first Learning-Development-Enviornment I like. You're doing yourself more harm by only letting people use those 16 languages.

Spot on. This would be great as a way to learn new frameworks/libraries as well.

I completely agree.

Additionally, in the process of mimicking code, the only thing I could do was think about what I was writing - and in some cases I discovered that I would have done it differently than some of the libraries I use every day.
