Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Community backed solution reviews
Users can publish their solutions for different problems and other users can review the code and give their opinions on how they would have solved the problem.
Sometimes, some of the most active users get their code reviewed by Guido Van Rossum (the creator of the Python language) himself.
Pro Available in multiple languages
CheckiO crowdsources translations for problems. Currently problems have been translated in 10 languages. So it's highly possible that eventually more languages will be supported.
Pro Ability to create new challenges
New missions can be created and uploaded using GitHub. After that is done, it's suggested to CheckiO and if it fills all the requirements after being reviewed by a CheckiO team member, it's pulled into the game.
Pro Challenges from GitHub, O'Reilly, Dropbox and Hubspot.
Pro Very addictive
Users gain XP for every challenge they complete, can unlock achievements and climb the global leaderboard. This provides the user with a genuine sense of progression as their skillset increases.
Pro Learn to think like a programmer
Almost everything relating to learning to code is geared toward only teaching basic syntax. Edabit goes beyond syntax and teaches its users how to think like real programmers (problem solving) in a fun and interactive way.
Pro Get instant feedback
Users can start coding immediately while getting instant feedback. If their code works, they pass the challenge. If it doesn't, they fail and must try again.
Cons
Con Not for absolute beginners
CheckiO does not teach syntax, instead it teaches how to solve problems using a particular programming language therefore some basic programming knowledge is required to start.
