Go playground

The go playground presents you with an interface where in yellow pane where you can type your Go code. It already shows some code when opening:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, playground")
}

This is a basic program that you can run, but you can change the code if you want to. On top there is the navigation, click run to run the Go program.

You'll see it output the current program below the yellow pane.

By default it runs the hello world program. There's a share button in the go playground, which lets you share your code online.
