Evaluation of code

[Raynes]

@codeblock is working on an API-based service called Breakpoint for code evaluation. We will want to tie this into RefHeap. Since it is API based, this wont be difficult and it wont give us any overhead because the evaluation will happen on @codeblock's servers.

This could be our killer feature over gist, given our future support for gist-like things such as revisions.

Hi there. :D.

Yes, Breakpoint is almost-ish to the point where it will be able to actually eval code. It uses SELinux sandboxes to perform actual evaluations.

The entire project is open source. Repos are at https://github.com/breakpoint-eval - it's all in Scala, though we will have a few official libraries to interact with the API, in various languages.

Just figured I would introduce myself and be around to answer any questions or whatnot. I also just started #breakpoint-eval on freenode. Feel free to hang out.

@codeblock Breakpoint looks awesome!

Breakpoint's web design is the best I've seen in a long while!

Looking forward to this feature - it'd be killer indeed. A sexpr-aware sending function between the pasted code and the repl would be handy.
