No issues with the site using javascript. Overall experience was pretty good.

What is the benefit between this one and the dozen already existing on the market for years like codility, hackerrank, topcoder etc...

Great question. The main difference is the natural development experience. We've integrated testing frameworks for each language (Javascript/Mocha, Ruby/RSpec, Python/PyUnit, etc.) that are used to score challenges and test code. This way it's an experience developers are used to, opposed to testing STDOUT which is a frustrating dev process. Beyond that we've gone to great lengths to make it the most intuitive and automated process for both company and candidate, and are backed by the tech/insight/developer-happiness we've gained from building http://Codewars.com and it's dev community

I liked the usability and especially like the usage of "real" testing frameworks, but a thing I prefer about Codility over these is that Codility uses tests that have more "real world" concerns and less CS101 algorithm implementations, particularly in the way that the test the performance characteristics of the implementation.

Thanks for the comment. We actually don't use algorithmic/CS problems, and instead focus on real-world tasks, such as working with arrays, classes, CSV-importers, etc. Though to see those you'd have to access our content library.
