  • The playground compiles the program with GOOS=linux, GOARCH=amd64 and runs the program with gVisor. Detailed documentation is available at the gVisor site.

  • wasm-go-playground

    Go compiler running entirely in your browser

  • However, others have implemented it. A brief scan over the README.md will show why the Go playground isn't going to just drop this in. The problems are probably solvable, but then again, the problems with the current playground seem to be solved (I'm going to assume there's been some non-trivial attempts at cracking it, because much smaller and less juicy similar services have been broken for fun, it's like an in-the-wild capture the flag contest), so I imagine it's hard to justify.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
