I was cruising over Go language site and I noticed this: http://golang.org/doc/playground.html. If by any case you update this site, could we get a nice little Fantom Shell or a playground at front page? Perhaps replace the middle "Hello World" example on the front page with it.

+1 definitely. Will be cool if the playground also includes a "tutorial" to learn as you try for beginners. If you want to work on this, I am willing to share half the effort.

That would be cool. Although not sure that is anything we will have time to add to this site in the near future. But would be a cool project for someone in the community to build. The trick would be security, which maybe could be done using Java VM sandbox model.

What about using the JavaScript backend? That should be pretty safe.

How would the JS backend be able to parse the text? I mean theoretically speaking.

How about just compile to javascript, and bring it back to the browser and executing it there? Although, I think using JVM's sandbox and disabling a few things should work just fine. Any gotchas in that?
