"Online code execution" is commonly implemented as a webpage with a text-area for writing/pasting code, a button "Submit/Execute", and an output-page to show the result.
That means, usually no graphics or GUI.

Online-code-execution allows for a quick test of (short) programs/scripts, without the need to install something on the own machine.

This are some known websites that allow online code execution:

  • Lua-demo : just Lua, with some canned demo-programs.
  • CodePad.org : C C++ D Haskell Lua OCaml PHP Perl Python Ruby Scheme Tcl

This can also be used to share/discuss code, much like PasteBin.com.

Defunct:

  • CompileOnline.com : lots of programming-languages, as well as shells, text-formatting, file-compare, etc. // renamed to Coding Ground
