## What it is
Klipse is a JavaScript plugin that transforms static code snippets in web pages into live, interactive snippets that evaluate in the browser as the user types. It supports many languages including JavaScript, Clojure, Ruby, Python, Scheme, Prolog, PHP, SQL, Go, and Lua, all evaluated client-side with no server involved.

## Use cases
- embed interactive code examples in a tech blog
- make tutorial code snippets runnable in the browser
- let readers edit and evaluate code as they type
- add live Clojure or Ruby REPL snippets to documentation
- create interactive programming lessons without a backend
- evaluate Python or SQL snippets client-side in a web page

## When to choose
- you write technical blogs or tutorials and want runnable code examples
- you need client-side evaluation with no server infrastructure
- you want to support many languages with one lightweight plugin

## When to avoid
- you need server-side execution or sandboxed security guarantees
- you need languages or runtimes not supported by in-browser evaluators
- you need a full hosted playground or IDE experience
