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.

Why crash the machine when you can use it? Let's say someone wanted to run a ton of background processes to make a ton of requests to some server for whatever reason.

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

I installed ghc just to see if packages could be installed, sorry if that caused you problems.

that seems fine to me

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?

In the case of jsfiddle almost everything runs on the client, so the operating cost should be relatively low.

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!

Thanks! It would be nice to see support for real languages.

How do you define that?

Speaking of GHC, you guys should work on supporting Haskell.

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

We follow an honor-based system. If a user abuses root access, we take their privileges away

Nice, but some users are not "honorable". And you make it super easy and quick to make accounts, no confirmation, just enter some email address. (not that i'm complaining about that part, i like easy signups... but it may open you to abuse).
