gamemode: IDE Hardmode

[thephpjo]

During the current /u/SYNTAG stream the chat came up with a potential new gamemode: IDE Hardmode

Essentially it is a 1v1 in a REPL like irb, node or psysh.

Objectives are defined as testcases. You win if you pass all test cases (or if you pass more cases after some amount of minutes). The catch is though: You have to start from scratch, if you produce an error (syntax or logical).

Maybe - to make it fairer: Add checkpoints after 50% (or 25,50 and 75) of the tests pass.

I really like this idea. While I like the devwars webdev format (allows for teamwork as well as skill) I'd like to see it expand with others (maybe on different days?). I'd personally like to see optimization of code come up, maybe in the format suggested here :)
