Thanks for calling these to our attention. The web REPLs are very nice.

There are slight hiccups with the REPLs that spin up a container on the
server, connect from the JS to the container, and occasionally show some
Unix-terminal-related artifacts in the browser. With Scheme
implementations that run in JavaScript or WebAssembly such as Lips and
the others, we have the opportunity to skip the server-side and terminal
stuff and offer a faster and more user-friendly UI.

With scheme.org we should probably avoid fancy JavaScript on the front
page for security reasons and to simplify administration. Since we also
have many implementations, there would be competition about whose
implementation should go onto the front page. For those reasons, it
would be better to have a separate subdomain such as try.scheme.org for
the REPLs. It would probably also be useful to have a REPL in the
documentation browser, doc.scheme.org, as you suggested.

Videos should be avoided on the front page for similar reasons, but it
would be great to have them on other subdomains. Embedded videos would
be nice, but most video hosts track their users. I wonder if it's
possible to pay someone like Vimeo not to track users. Or we could host
them on our own server if we can get good bandwidth and latency for a
reasonable price. Alternatively, just link to YouTube and the like.
