function greet(name) {
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Client-Side Sandboxing: Code executes entirely in an isolated browser Web Worker, preventing cross-origin data exposure and keeping your code private.
- Monaco Editor: Powered by the same editor engine as Visual Studio Code, complete with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and autocomplete.
- Vim & Emacs Modes: Toggle standard keybindings, Vim emulation (with status bar), or Emacs keybindings directly from the toolbar.
- Integrated Prettier Formatter: Keep code clean and properly styled with built-in Prettier standalone formatting (Ctrl+S / Cmd+S).
- Interactive Output Console: Streams output directly from
console.log(),console.info(),console.warn(), andconsole.error(). - Watchdog Timeout: Automatically terminates execution after 10 seconds if an infinite loop or hanging promise is encountered.
- Multi-File Tabs & State Persistence: Create helper files, rename tabs, and your workspace auto-saves to local storage.
