With CodeWars there is no judging, it's who ever wins the competition, as in a triathlon. Its not like figure skating.
Especially if we want to go with a competition to do in the near future, one that doesn't require any human judges is perhaps a good thing (since figuring all that out would be complicated). There are a overwhelming amount of systems that do this, of which CodeWars appears to be the oldest (at least the oldest still around). The newer systems in higher-level programming languages do things like have the programmer writing a AI for a robot battle (though not physical robots). In other news, I did actually get around to sending RedHat a thing asking for free stuff, as well as updating our listing on their site.
