It's just a start, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to add these features in future for popular languages if there is demand for it. It's pretty exciting IMHO.
- mixedbit 13y agoExecuting code would actually be very difficult. They would need to configure an isolated VM for each run (for security) and somehow figure out a generic way to install/configure dependencies.
- simias 13y agoFor many languages (especially interpreted ones) you could just use a dumbed down interpreter with crippled libraries. It's fairly common actually, like the PHPs running in shared environements. Many programming language's websites let you try running some code from the browser, without having to install anything as well, see for instance http://dlang.org/ http://dlang.org/ (amongst many others). I'm not sure it would be very useful (to me at least, but I mostly write C) but it's definitely not rocket science.
