Request for Go Playground API Access - Easyloops Programming Learning Platform
Arun Saragadam
Dear Go Development Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request permission to integrate the Go Playground API into our educational programming platform, Easyloops (https://easyloops.web.app/).
About Easyloops:
Easyloops is an educational platform designed to help beginners learn programming. Currently, it supports Python, offering a structured learning path from basic concepts (variables, data types, loops) to more advanced topics (algorithms, data structures, system programming, and design patterns).
Our Mission:
We aim to make programming education accessible, interactive, and comprehensive, increasing the number of skilled developers in the market. Our platform serves as the first step for individuals learning programming, regardless of their background or prior experience.
Our Request:
We would like to expand our platform to include Go programming by integrating the Go Playground API. This would allow our users to:
-
Write and execute Go code directly in their browser
-
Learn Go from the basics to advanced topics
-
Practice Go through structured challenges
-
Receive immediate feedback and improve through hands-on experimentation
Why This Matters:
Adding Go to Easyloops will help increase the number of Go developers by:
-
Introducing Go to students early in their programming journey
-
Providing a beginner-friendly learning path for Go
-
Offering hands-on, interactive learning experiences that engage students
-
Encouraging students to continue with Go as their primary language
Intended Implementation:
We plan to integrate the Go Playground API endpoint (https://golang.org/compile) with appropriate user-agent identification. Our implementation will be similar to the Go documentation’s embedded playground widgets, with added error handling and rate limiting. The user agent will be: “Easyloops-GoPlayground/1.0.”
Benefits to the Go Community:
-
Introduce Go to a new generation of programmers
-
Offer a structured, beginner-friendly learning path
-
Help grow the Go community by fostering early interest in the language
-
Complement existing Go resources by focusing on fundamentals
-
Potentially increase the number of Go developers in the market
Current Platform Features:
-
200+ programming challenges ranging from basic to advanced
-
Interactive code execution with instant feedback
-
Progressive difficulty levels suitable for complete beginners
-
Clean, modern interface optimized for learning
-
Comprehensive coverage of core programming concepts
We believe this integration will benefit both Easyloops and the Go community by making Go accessible to first-time programmers and supporting the growth of the Go ecosystem.
Please let us know if you need more information or if we can provide further details on our implementation plans.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
