goplay

Overview ¶

Goplay is a web interface for experimenting with Go code. It is similar to the Go Playground: http://golang.org/doc/play/

To use goplay:

$ cd $GOROOT/misc/goplay
$ go run goplay.go

and load http://localhost:3999/ in a web browser.

You should see a Hello World program, which you can compile and run by pressing shift-enter. There is also a "compile-on-keypress" feature that can be enabled by checking a checkbox.

WARNING! CUIDADO! ACHTUNG! ATTENZIONE! A note on security: anyone with access to the goplay web interface can run arbitrary code on your computer. Goplay is not a sandbox, and has no other security mechanisms. Do not deploy it in untrusted environments. By default, goplay listens only on localhost. This can be overridden with the -http parameter. Do so at your own risk.
