Creator of the site is AWOL, for the record. Compiler/interpreter versions aren't being updated and his blog has been left for dead for over a year.

From talking to him recently in person, he's just super busy with his startup, which is taking off: http://saucelabs.com/

That's me. Sauce Labs has indeed been keeping me ridiculously busy. But codepad is my favorite side-project, and I don't mean to neglect it. I'll find a free weekend and update interpreter versions once things are less crazy here!

Nice, thanks for supporting OCaml.

Could it autodetect the language using a few heuristics (or Bayesian analysis of existing submissions) instead of having the selection down the left hand side?

That might depend on whether or not he's been caching previous submissions. That and it sounds like a lot of hassle.

Saucelabs actually looks like just what I've been needing.

See? This is the response I wanted. :)

Not downvotes. :(

No need to sensationalize, he's still around: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=sah

Codepad is meant for simple snippets. I don't see anything wrong with the versions that he's currently providing.

The "Hello World Examples" for C was only 17 seconds old when I looked, so it seems there's some activity...
