This sounds interesting. Someone willing to give it a shot and tell us how it went?

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.

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.

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

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

harpastum• 17 years ago

Worked well for a simple ruby sample [1]. I haven't tried anything complicated though.

I've used it quite a bit to test out both C and PHP. For basic snippets its great.

I think it could be improved by tying in reference code. Perhaps mine the PHP manuals for sample code and put it in to allow editing.

Similar idea, but implemented on top of AppEngine and opensource. Designed to give you persistent URLs to run your code so you can use them as webhooks, etc.

Reminds me of Google's "Lord of the REPLs": http://lotrepls.appspot.com/

and their original interactive shell just for Python: http://shell.appspot.com/

(at least for the dynamic languages)

Cool!

I stress test the server with an infinte loop: http://codepad.org/LZNJjLnM

Seem like the obvious stuff was taken care as he said it will.

MindTwister• 17 years ago

So yeah, loops kill the server, I want none of that...

sah3• 17 years ago

Loops don't kill the server -- it runs them until they reach a timeout, and then aborts them.

seventoes• 17 years ago

Site isn't loading for me anymore. Either it got overloaded or someone figured out how to tie it up.. That was quick. Haha.

I wonder what is the reason that Java is not supported.

scotth• 17 years ago

Java isn't really appropriate for something like this. You could, I suppose, paste the entire main class into the text box and run it that way.

If Java-like syntax is desired (although I can't imagine why it would be), BeanShell would be the way to go.

sah3• 17 years ago

The JVM is threaded, and threads will require a little bit of (careful!) work for the codepad security sandbox to support. I haven't had time for that project yet.

brown9-2• 17 years ago

Perhaps supporting something like Groovy would make for an easier-to-implement compromise?

maxwin• 17 years ago

Great job! just one small thing. For Python, the code editor doesn't allow you to type in the "tab" key.

selven2• 17 years ago

I think that is <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/HowToEditPythonCode>intentio...;

selven2• 17 years ago

Sorry, formatting screwed up. The link is http://wiki.python.org/moin/HowToEditPythonCode, it says that using tabs is a bad idea in Python.

  from itertools import *

  primes = (i for i in count(2) if all(imap(lambda x:i%x,xrange(2,i/2))))

My Python code for a generator expression to loop on prime numbers.

notaddicted• 17 years ago

you only need to check for divisors up to sqrt(i)

nirmal2• 17 years ago

Arghh, you are right. I wonder if this will make any difference in my Project Euler problem solutions.

pudo• 17 years ago

I want a little flag next to the output that tells me whether the program terminates. Can't be that hard.

SCNR.

baddox• 17 years ago

They could display a flag if the program HAS terminated, but there's no way to determine is a program will terminate.

xsmasher2• 17 years ago

Nonsense; the W005H compiler flag will handle this in gcc.

z8000• 17 years ago

Wow this wouldb be very useful for many projects. Any chance of distributing the sources?
