There's a Hello World button now that does just this.

Saying that Codeanywhere is a better choice than TIO is like saying that GMail is a better choice than Netflix.

In both cases, both services were built for different purposes, and neither one can or intends to replace the other.

Some interpreters absolutely require being able to read /etc/passwd, as they use it to determine the user's home directory for some reason.

Since /etc/passwd, despite what the name suggests, doesn't actually contain sensitive information, I don't consider this an issue.

Not intentionally. This was a simple bug: a history.pushState that should have been history.replaceState.

That should be fixed.

Looks like getting mentioned on Hacker News is an excellent way to get your servers overloaded. :) I've added a couple of additional servers.

I'll work on the issues that were brought up here asap. TIO only has two developers at this point (and only one of us works on the web app), so "asap" might take a little while.
