Useful for quick testing and sharing code

This is super awesome! I was thinking of building something like this the other day because I wanted to test some code and not make a new test console app. Totally awesome!
philliphaydon on HNThis is really great. Infact you gave it edge over jsfiddle by providing collaborate, auto-complete and compile-as-you-type features. There are times when I quickly want to test…
mandeepj on HNVery useful. This will be a great way to answer questions and demo algorithms

mandeepj on HNO M G Collaboration coding in the browser is SERIOUSLY cool!
philliphaydon on HNGreat pretty handy. You even got auto complete, kudos.

Objections
Intellisense gaps and bugs
From 3 comments
This is really awesome, good job! I've found a minor glitch. Seems that the Intellisense (auto-complete) does not work when I try to call a custom class method inline, like:…
victorin on HNIs intellisense case-sensitive for a reason? I typed "Console.w" and auto-complete list was gone. It works fine with "Console.W".
ctekin on HNPretty cool, nested classes do not work though. Throws "Method must have a return type".

Slow execution
From 1 comment
What kind of hardware are you using? Are the jobs parallel? I do not know about .NET very much, but it seems very slow. Would that be feasbile for you to maintain this?

Add Dump() pretty-print extension
From 2 comments
Great! I was going to say F# should be supported, but then I remembered there's this: http://www.tryfsharp.org/Create Still, I can definitely see myself using this to share…
upthedale on HNThis is really neat. Adding something like LinqPad's Dump() extension method would make this supercool.

Questions
How is execution sandboxed?
From 2 comments
Nice work! Is this inspired by Compilify? How are you securing execution? Source? I did a blog post a long time ago on hosted execution with Roslyn and that is how we do it with…
fekberg on HNI assume that you have created some kind of sand box in order to prevent malicious code execution. Can you share some details about that?

Is it open source?

Is it open source? If not, is there any plans of making it?

LINQPad
From 2 comments
Try Linqpad for a scratchpad too. Don't let the linq name fool you - its great for general purpose fiddling about. It has been truly indispensable when developing on .Net.…
upthedale on HNAs stated elsewhere linqpad is really great for testing ad-hoc, throwaway C# code (much more than just linq expressions). It kind of like a REPL for .net.

While this one doesn't have the nice "fiddle" suffix, it has been around for a while and supports a lot of platforms: http://ideone.com/

There is also https://compilify.net/ and http://executify.com/. But it's always good to have more options.
