Hi all, Repl.it employee here. It's worth noting that the author of the guest blog post took on this project as part of his EPQ, or Extended Project Qualification, an exploratory project undertaken by some high schoolers (equivalent) in the UK. Repl.it took no part in the origins or the directions of his work; Ollie just chose Repl.it as his tool of choice. He learned the concepts, tools, and code on his own.
Regardless of the outcome of his research, the fact that a sixteen year old felt empowered to tackle such an advanced topic and was able to teach himself the tools to dive into it is pretty damn cool.
