## What it is
glot is an open source online code playground (glot.io) that lets users run and share code snippets in dozens of languages. It executes code in temporary Docker containers via a code-runner API, with a web editor supporting Vim/Emacs key bindings.

## Use cases
- run code snippets online in many languages
- share code snippets with a link
- try out a new programming language without installing it
- self-host a code execution sandbox
- run code in an isolated temporary container

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to online playgrounds like repl.it
- you need to run or share quick snippets across dozens of languages
- you want sandboxed execution with network access disabled

## When to avoid
- you need persistent projects, package installation, or long-running processes
- you need a full IDE or collaborative editing features
- you require guaranteed uptime or commercial support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: interpreter, http-server, container-runtime, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, education, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, browser
