Proposal: show the editor and rendered output at the same time. #3

I'd like to propose changes to the sandbox.js that show the code and result at the same time. Seeing the code and the result at the same time allows the student to connect input to result.

You can see what I mean in this preview:

This would also eliminate the need for an Edit button entirely.

Perhaps in the end, some other live coding services like jsbin or jsfiddle can be mentioned - letting them explore the language in a different environment by themself and sharing their code with others.

Neat. One step more, and we'll have Light Table.

I'll try to make this change.

Originally, I was going to just put all these on jsbin, but I decided the interface there wasn't minimal enough (and the pedantic jslint noise that it adds was bound to turn off our students).
