Yeah, it’s deeply frustrating how Replit treats users who just want a coding environment in a certain language. I’ve tried the following which seems to produce something akin to using a Developer Framework:

  • Choose Import code or design (upper left)
  • Then choose Empty and create an empty repl
  • In the repl go to the tab Tools & files
  • And under Advanced :roll_eyes: select Developer
  • Under Dependencies choose System
  • And go to Add module … here you can select languages etc.
  • Afterwards you can go back one step (System) and can add dependencies (Nix stuff) under System Dependencies

Never, ever ask the so-called “Agent” to do something extremely simple like:

Set up a simple Rust REPL environment for writing and running code

I’ve tried 2 variants, both super plain vanilla stuff, just to check if this is a viable option. It absolutely isn’t! It cost me roughly 1.5$ of my “credits”, which is ridiculous, and produced a total mess, mostly stuff I’ve never mentioned - see the screenshot.
