I tried ProjectLibre and at the start this looked good. But then I ran into an issue, where I am sure that this is a user error, so wanted to check out the documentation. Turns out that this is hidden behind a "you need to get a community account to see documentation" page.
If I can work around my issue I will continue using PL, otherwise just try the next tool and migrate my data. I do not want an account all over the place just to look at some docs
I think both holds true: for students that just get into "programming" or "hacking on stuff", the "one line" python/bash-server is better suited, as it allows them to easily get something going, that will / may foster their appetite to learn more.
Once they are at that point, the nweb server is probably the better choice. But if they just start, throwing 200 lines C code at them will overwhelm them and most of them will just quit because it is too much.
