In regards to community-building, I'm experimenting with ways to make invitations to contribute more easy to by negating the need to set up a local dev environment for small changes. For example, setting up a minimal go playground, like so:
I'm curious to think whether any of this could be automated.
For example, this automation might involve:
being given lines on github
recognizing the language in question,
selecting an appropriate sandbox website,
back-filling imports and mocking objects, and maybe substituting out 3rd-party libs for core libs when possible.
Not sure how feasible this is for other languages, but might be more possible for strongly-types languages. Would be cool if a probot bot could be called in to do this :)
