- Coalton Playground is a web-based REPL for Coalton, a statically-typed Lisp dialect.
- Coalton combines Haskell's type system with Common Lisp, offering algebraic data types and pattern matching.
- The project was created to simplify experimenting with Coalton without setting up a full Lisp environment.
- Users can write and run Coalton code directly in the browser and view generated Common Lisp code.
- Performance optimizations include pre-building SBCL cores with Coalton, reducing startup time significantly.
- The playground includes examples like factorial, fibonacci, and monads for users to explore.
