It would be awesome for people to be able to play with Nim examples in their browser. Nim's playground accept urlencoded code with the code tag

https://play.nim-lang.org/?code=THECODE

For example, first example of the tutorial can have this link:

https://play.nim-lang.org/?code=%23%20This%20is%20a%20comment%0D%0Aecho%20"What%27s%20your%20name%3F%20"%0D%0Avar%20name%3A%20string%20%3D%20readLine%28stdin%29%0D%0Aecho%20"Hi%2C%20"%2C%20name%2C%20"%21"

Why not gists?

If the anonymous gists created by the playground are never deleted we could use that. Otherwise it should be collaborative gists, ideally under "nim-lang" project.
