Rust Playground
Rust Playground is a free web tool for trying Rust when a local installation or compiler is unavailable. Its syntax-highlighted editor compiles code in debug or release mode against the stable, beta, or nightly channel. The available crates include the top 100 by all-time downloads, Rust Cookbook crates, and their dependencies, though some candidates are omitted if they fail to compile on Linux or stable Rust or have invalid feature selections. Users can run rustfmt and Clippy, or inspect LLVM IR, assembly, and Rust MIR. Code can be loaded from or saved to a GitHub Gist and shared; Rust documentation and mdbook examples can also link to code for editing or execution. Docker containers supply and isolate its compilers and tools. Compilation and execution have no outside network access and are limited by memory and time. The latest entered code is saved in browser local storage, shared among windows as a single resource. The project is open source under Apache License 2.0 or MIT. Self-hosting is documented, and requires a GitHub token for Gist loading and saving.
