Hosting live examples

[HeinrichApfelmus]

It would be cool if we could host the examples live, so that people can try them out without downloading anything.

FP Haskell Center offers to live hosting of Haskell code, but their terms of use are too vague for my taste.

At the moment, the application would have to be restarted every now and then, because event handlers of DOM elements are not garbage collected.

Heroku is a cloud application platform. They offer free accounts, and you can run Haskell applications with bgriffs buildpack.

For completeness, FP Haskell Center has now been retired, so isn't an option.

Since about Feb 2016, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET supports WebSockets and custom daemon processes that listen on HTTP. I have a prototype running, but still need to set up a nice gallery of examples.
