    There's https://goplay.tools/ which has many nice features (code completion and live error feedback), wonder why it's not become more popular.

  • A better version of Go Playground
    4 projects | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2022
    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Apologies if my previous post looks like trying to push you into a particular direction; this wasn't my intention. Stay with your roadmap, goplay.tools is already super useful. If I need something extra I should really consider trying to contribute that – although I must admit I don't have much time either. But I'll keep it in mind.
