If anyone is looking for a similar system but more focused on collaboration and working on code in real-time, check out: https://coderpad.io The target use case is interviews, but it works well for a wide variety of use cases as well.

codepad.io $50 a month. runnable appears to be free atm.

I think you're paying for the latency in this case

It seems to be a mix of languages and frameworks. For example, it doesn't list Python, but it does list Django. No Javascript, but jQuery and Node.js (Angular programmers are out of luck).

It has Node.js, which I guess is JavaScript. Or do you want direct access to V8?

Edit: If you expand the list of supported languages, it shows Python too.

This is cool. I'd love to have some sort of GitHub (or just Git) integration. That would be powerful.

It would be awesome to just open a project on github & run it without downloading / installing. Great tool to tinker & learn. Add some profiling tools to the mix while you are at it. Imagine you are trying to decide between 2 different libraries or frameworks. You could just fire them up in Github & try out for a bit before making up your mind. Would be nice to generate compile & generate binaries on the fly too instead of downloading them from 3rd party sources.

Where are they running the code? I could easily write malicious code that would crash the machine on which the code would be running on.

I may be wrong here but to address a comment above, my hunch is this is spawning a light, short-lived VM for this, which doesn't eliminate security concerns but would be sandboxed enough to make it tougher.

I was trying to get some info on environment in C++ but unfortunately,
