Play with Go
- dgellow 6y agoThat seems to only work when logged in with a GitHub or Google account. That's an odd choice, https://play.golang.org/ https://play.golang.org/ doesn't have this limitation.
- detaro 6y agoIt's a completely different project, so why wouldn't it be under different constraints, e.g. funding-wise?
- detaro 6y agoSince that apparently wasn't clear: Requiring a login is a basic tool to combat abuse of the service. an official golang resource likely is way better equipped both in tolerance for going "over budget" as it is in resources to invest in other filters.
- tgv 6y agoIf you block JS, you can at least read it.

- IceWreck 6y agoDoes this have any advantage over the official a tour of go ?
- alexellisuk 6y agoIt's curated tutorials that you can execute as you click in a terminal. Try it out.
- pauljolly 6y agoTour of Go is an introduction to the Go language. Play with Go is not intended as a replacement for that, rather it's an interactive introduction to the tooling required to program in Go. The go command is the most obvious example of that, but modules also lend themselves well to this sort of guide.
- dewey 6y agoNot sure if OP is the developer but if you are: The about page has a lot of CSS issues, footer overlapping and images scaled wrongly.
- diegoholiveira 6y agoPerhaps the author is a backend developer. The source code is open to collaboration?
- dewey 6y agoIt wasn't criticism of the developer, just passing the info along in case they haven't spotted it.
- pauljolly 6y agoThanks, we are aware of at least one issue on Safari https://github.com/play-with-go/play-with-go/issues/296 https://github.com/play-with-go/play-with-go/issues/296
- superkuh 6y agoI far prefer http://playgo.to/iwtg/en/ http://playgo.to/iwtg/en/ from before Google's attempts to overload and redefine what "Go" means. It uses Java and/or Flash applets.
- eplanit 6y agoWhy should I have to sign in? No thanks.
- alexellisuk 6y agoYou get a Linux terminal, that will be why to prevent spam. The login only takes a public email address. That's legit, think of katacoda and other e-learning platforms.
- pauljolly 6y agoAs others have kindly pointed out, we use authentication as one means of preventing abuse of the system. Each guide is connected to a remote container instance, so there are real compute costs associated with each user's session. Leaving this open is not something that we, as a sponsor-supported open source project, can afford.
