The recently weekly has a tantalising glimpse of a local playground,
now showing a pane to allow code entry, but run tries to call $GOROOT/
compile. Is there a plan to include the necessary file to host this
locally? Tangentially related, the pop-out button has gone away.

Also is there any likelihood of linking from that part of the welcome
page to the go tour? Just a suggestion.

Currently you can use the goplay program, located in $GOROOT/misc/goplay (cd there and then 'go build *.go').

It'd be nice to include this in godoc but it's not a good thing to run by default, and it's a fairly low priority.

Yes, that's the plan.

True and fair enough respectively.
