Interesting. Rust has two playgrounds (official: https://play.rust-lang.org/, unofficial: http://play.integer32.com/), and each is a completely different bit of open-source software (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-playpen , https://github.com/integer32llc/rust-playground) They both use docker for isolation, with a bunch of things to make it work. IIRC we haven't had any issues with this. Furthermore, the official playground used to be a third completely different bit of software until it was rewritten in Rust. It also used to use https://github.com/thestinger/playpen. I'm skeptical that the problem will take that much effort since Rust has solved it (to some degree) twice. At the same time, it's likely that Go's playpen does a lot more mitigation, e.g. the time.Now() probably futzes timing attacks. Though in that case they would need t

o mess with mutexes or scheduling as well (since you can use shared memory to build a timer), which complicates things. (For timing attacks I still think the solution still lies in how you set up the container, specifically isolating its memory accesses -- instead of tweaking the compiler itself)
In Go 1.8 Release Candidate 1 is released
