Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Online IDE
You can use the development environment without installation in your browser and share your programs via the Google Drive integration.
Pro Designed for education
A primary goal of Pyret is to be an excellent choice for a first programming language. This heavily influences the development of the language. For example: if it's felt that some aspect of the language could be made better for the language's users, The development team won't hesitate about implementing breaking (non backwards compatible) changes into Pyret for the greater good of the language. This makes Pyret an impressively "wart free" programming language.
Pro Great tooling and language support
Very good CLI and webpack, bundling, testing, deployment support. Deep TypeScript integration and support.
Cons
Con Missing IDE features
For example: content assist, go to declaration, etc.
Con Slightly over-engineered
Very enterprisey - made for huge architectures and with tons of declarative, non-intuitive annotations it makes it overkill for very small projects.
Con Native i18n support over-engineered
Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
