Description
The playground is quite limited with its runtime capabilities, due to some complexities.
Here are a few details what the playground should be:
- A tool to quickly show-case the JS output for a ReScript program
- A quick way to try out new compiler features
- A way to report certain bugs for specific compiler releases
- (future) An exploratory tool for showing the AST?
Runtime wise, it would be best-case if we are able to console log stuff, but we don't really want to be able to render whole React programs.
To help users to try out ReScript in a more desktop like experience, we should find a way to provide a Code Sandbox template (maybe as a link on the playground page?), so that users can actually build whole ReScript apps in the browser.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing playground and the proposed CodeSandbox integration; done means a linked template lets users build complete ReScript apps in the browser while preserving the playground's stated runtime limits.
