Description
### Feature request
Recently I tried helping a someone on discord, however it's rather difficult to get a specific version of ghc compiler since I'm on nixos, I could only get ghc 9.7.1 but it didn't have the javascript backend. It'd be great if the playground would have the javascript backend supported as well so I can play around with FFI.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the Haskell Playground currently selects and runs GHC output backends, then identify where JavaScript backend support and FFI execution would fit. Compare the available GHC compiler capabilities with the playground's existing execution flow; done means users can select JavaScript output and experiment with FFI.
