Yolmo review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Yolmo suits learners who already know a little and want a pocket sandbox for many languages. Complete beginners will get more from a structured course.

What Yolmo is

Yolmo is a set of coding playgrounds rather than a course. It supports more than 25 languages, including Python, JavaScript, Go, C, Rust, Java, SQL, PHP, Ruby, TypeScript and even COBOL, and lets you edit and run examples with no setup. The latest release added quizzes for Python, Lua, TypeScript, R, Fortran and LilyPond, plus streak tracking.
