Given that Amjad seems particularly worried about people encroaching in this space, let me again say that nothing about Replit is unique, the use of Nix for Replit is literally an idea years past its prime. Nothing remotely unique.
Amjad, if your securing your moat via threats, you better look out.
To anyone else, go grab Theia. In about an hour you can get something better than Replit going, and if you combine with Nix/Guix, there's just no reason to deal with people that behave like Amjad.
this fiasco reminds me of those YouTube guys who started sending notices to people doing reaction videos about stealing "their format"... when reaction videos had existed long before YouTube and certainly before those guys got involved.
