| <p> |
| The Go Playground is a web service that runs on |
| <a href="http://golang.org/">golang.org</a>'s servers. |
| The service receives a Go program, compiles, links, and runs the program inside |
| a sandbox, then returns the output. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| There are limitations to the programs that can be run in the Playground. |
| They must be single-threaded (but they may use many goroutines). |
| There are also limits on execution time, and CPU and memory usage. |
| The Playground can access only a subset of the standard library |
| (notably absent are network and file system access). |
| Therefore, the only communication a Playground program has to the outside world |
| is via standard output. |
