[Request] Add languages to code playground

Even if you don't have the resources to make a tutorial, sharing our code with other learners would still be helpful. The language I'm trying to learn is lisp. A tutorial would be nice as well, of course, but I have a book, so that's not strictly necessary for me. What I lack is a community of lisp learners, and surely there are some of those here.

maybe one day. be glad they're adding languages at all. their current lineup is good enough, but they've recently added jQuery. it takes some time and money to make one no doubt, so until they make it, you'll have to find somewhere else. try github?

they have to hire multiple people to write the tutorials and courses who understand the language well enough to teach it. then they have to build and emulate THE ENTIRE LANGUAGE through another language, so that it will run on mobile and browsers. im glad this is completely free. you'll eventually get your wish, luckily. but in an alternate universe I could easily see at least the apps charging money, if not using ads. they don't need to see what the focus is on, I'm pretty sure they already have ways to survey that, if they don't get info from a 3rd party. they could easily just make a survey featured on codeplayground and get info that way if they wanted. If you want a code platform for every language, try pastebin or github. they don't provide free courses.

..what if we just sharing posts (or we allowed to make a group) on (e.g. those lisp) questions (we were on) which we afterwards could try on third party (do not include examples here so avoid advertising) apps & resolve discussion (just as a wide study group)??

Well, I guess I don't see how adding an additional label in codeplayground would cost that much time and money.

Also, by adding more such labels and seeing which get the most traffic, it shows them where they might want to focus.
