Language Features

​
Client-Side Execution

All languages compile and run entirely in the browser:
  • No server required
  • Zero-latency compilation
  • Privacy-preserving (code never leaves your browser)
  • Offline-capable

​
Editor Support

Rich editing experience for all languages:
  • Syntax highlighting (Monaco, CodeMirror, CodeJar)
  • IntelliSense and autocomplete
  • Error diagnostics
  • Format on save

​
Import Support

Import external packages directly: 
import { useState } from 'react';
import _ from 'lodash';
Supported registries:
  • npm via esm.sh, jsDelivr, unpkg
  • Python packages via Pyodide
  • Ruby gems via Opal stdlib

​
Custom Configuration

Configure compiler options per language: 
{
  "customSettings": {
    "typescript": {
      "target": "es2020",
      "strict": true
    },
    "babel": {
      "plugins": ["decorators"]
    }
  }
}

​
Language Selection

Languages are automatically detected by file extension or can be explicitly set:
  • .js → JavaScript
  • .ts → TypeScript
  • .jsx → JSX
  • .tsx → TypeScript + JSX
  • .py → Python
  • .rb → Ruby
  • .go → Go
  • And 80+ more extensions

​
Performance

Language compilers are loaded on-demand:
  • Initial page load: ~50KB (core runtime)
  • Language compiler: Loaded only when needed
  • Cached for subsequent uses
  • Progressive Web App support

​
Browser Compatibility

All languages work in modern browsers:
  • Chrome/Edge 90+
  • Firefox 88+
  • Safari 14+
  • Mobile browsers supported
Some languages (WebAssembly-based) require browsers with WASM support.
