Perspective
In 2009, having seen significant advancements in browser and web technologies, Masad imagined a development environment built on the same premise as Google Docs; that is, allowing the user to write and share code all in a web browser. In 2011, he produced an early open-source version of this concept, called "JSRepl".[3] Because Masad then spent a few years working at various companies,[1] including Udacity and Codecademy, JSRepl was used for the in-browser tutorials of Udacity and Codecademy.[4]
Replit was founded in 2016 by the Jordanian programmers Amjad Masad, Faris Masad, and designer Haya Odeh.[5][6] It was incorporated in San Mateo.[7][8][9][10] Its name comes from the acronym REPL, which stands for "read–evaluate–print loop". Initially a collaborative coding platform, Replit became with Agent an AI-powered software creation ecosystem centered around the ability to build complete applications by describing them in natural language.
In July 2025, Replit said it had 500,000 business users, and according to investor Stevie Case, its revenue had been multiplied by 10 in less than 6 months to reach $100 million. The same month, Replit announced a partnership with Microsoft, which involves the integration of Replit technology into several of Microsoft's tools for enterprises.[11]
