Running the demo

You'll need:

Start the server:

go run main.go run standalone

Execute a code snippet. Example

curl \

  -X POST \
  -H "content-type:application/json" \
  -d '{"language":"python","code":"print(\"hello world\")"}' \
  http://localhost:8000/execute

You can try changing the language to go or bash.
