Newt Playground

Newt is a dependent typed programming language that compiles to javascript. This playground embeds the newt compiler and a codemirror based editor.

The editor will typecheck the file with newt and render errors as the file is changed. The current file is saved to localStorage and will be restored if there is no data in the URL. Cmd-s or Ctrl-s will create a url embedding the file contents. There is a layout toggle for phone use.

Tabs

Output - Displays the compiler output, which is also used to render errors and info annotations in the editor.

JS - Displays the javascript translation of the file

Console - Displays the console output from running the javascript

Help - Displays this help file
