Koderunr: running programming code without installing tooling locally

When you first approach a new programming language, be it Ruby, JavaScript or Go, one of the quickest ways to get a feeling for it is to quickly fire up an interactive console and play around. Getting there can be awkward, since you have to install the language tools first. Well, Jingkai He (https://twitter.com/Jaxihe)has been working on a way to fix that. He’s going to talk us through Koderunr (https://github.com/jaxi/koderunr-ruby-server), a project of his that allows you to send and write programs in different languages, either via a web page or via a console, without having to install the language tools yourself.

There will be plenty of time for questions afterwards! We look forward to seeing you all, first-timers or regulars, on Thursday.
