Cool. This is quite usable and seems really handy—it's really fast compared to some heavier online repls. (definitely a use case for me)

How is it set up? I was definitely able to crash an instance I was in as well as read from root, but seemed all it took was a reload of the page and it snapped right back in without any real startup wait.

*edit: I just saw that you posted the source code as well. I'll definitely be exploring!

Seems like he spins up a container on each run, so 'root' is not really 'root'. I'd be worried though, containers are not secure enough to run untrusted code.
yeah this setup seems to indicate it's just running regular docker: https://github.com/prasmussen/glot-run/blob/master/docker_se...
It doesn't offer a repl as far as I've seen.
You're right. Fudged terminology. It does read-eval-print, but not in an interactive loop.
