This reminds me of a very similar product, QuokkaJs [0] which works across many popular editors, VSCode, Atom, Sublime, Jetbrains suite. [0] https://quokkajs.com/

https://runjs.app/ is also another player in this area, though is its own editor.

Very cool. One note: the browser (at least Firefox and Chrome) becomes unresponsive for a while if the code takes too long to run.

For example:

    for (i = 0; i

Nitpick: Please don't break the back button.

Works fine for me - what behavior are you seeing?

You need to click it twice but that's because the page is doing a redirect it seems. That would be the expected behavior from my POV.

Another fun example:

    function fib(n) {
      if(n == 0 || n == 1)
        return 1;
      else
        return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);
    }

    fib(100);

That is not expected behavior. If you click a link and get a page, one expects back to return to the previous page.

A standard HTTP redirect does this right as well as location.replace()

The site incorrectly sets a new location by other means.

this should be a vscode extension! wonderful work!

I'm curious what would happen if two extensions were trying to do this sort of output simultaneously, like this and GitLens.

Interesting, the steady state nature of the code reminds me of MS Excel! Which is a compliment by the way :)

Thank you! Excel would be a lot less fun if it was like coding and you had to press “Run”, haha
