Ah yes. You’ve caught us red handed with responding to the controversy. For better or for worse, we’re a bit more responsive on chat platforms like Slack or Zulip. We’re trying to figure out how to manage that and push more content to Discourse. It is probably better to post here first, but if you don’t get a reply, try posting a link to your post on Slack or Zulip.

You may also be interested in a few other services on the horizon (VSCode in the cloud)

> **[Start coding instantly with Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces)**
>
> Spin up fully configured dev environments in the cloud that start in seconds.

JuliaHub (aka JuliaRunCloud)… connect to it from VSCode on your computer or in the cloud (above)

Also if you’re running on low or no budget, there are several ways to run Julia online for free such as in Google Colab:

> [@Julia's growth is making free JuliaBox unsustainable](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julias-growth-is-making-free-juliabox-unsustainable/19441/60):

> Update on this front. With the Julia community growing, many others are offering a hosted Julia service: [repl.it](https://repl.it)[cocalc.com](http://cocalc.com)[mybinder.org](http://mybinder.org) google’s [colab](https://colab.research.google.com) (not officially supported, but you can install julia)
