Such a beautiful idea, and very useful. It looks like mr. Jacob Carlborg went ahead and read my thoughts with that link.

Firstly, I have always believed that for instance downloading someting, is an obstacle for someone who just wants to get a first grasp of a new programming language. They want to instantly and online do some tests and get a feeling before downloading something.

Secondly, and maybe it is the primary goal, it can be a good development tool, especially for functions, with the capacity of immediate demonstrations. Even a more advanced programmer wants to know exacly what a function/tool does before investing further energy examining it.
