I'd be willing to bet that someone has already run a fork bomb just to see what would happen.
Yes, I'm from Runnable. People have tried fork bombs. We are pretty good and cleaning them up. Please do not try this and let other users enjoy the platform
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, > Oh no, there's a problem with Runnable!

Why wouldn't you use a normal user and not root ? This seems overly dangerous

What's the monetization model? This looks awesome, but it needs a way to pay the bills if its going to survive.
I too wonder this. I assume runnable, jsfiddle, plnkr, etc. make money somehow, but I've always been curious as to how? I love the services and really appreciate them, but I don't get it. Any ideas?

"Everything"? Where's Erlang? Where's Lua?
You can actually create your own example with Erlang or Lua :) We provide a person VM for you to use and share. Simply start with a base example like (runnable.com/new/bash) install the compilers you need and click publish!
