Description
The playground currently removes the colors from the compiler error messages. Using the example from Comprehensive Rust 🦀, we get
in the playground, but
The red, blue, and green colors have been lost.
The colorful and helpful error messages from the compiler are a big selling point of Rust, so it would be great if we could keep them in the playground as well.
This was first reported in https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/issues/407, but it looks like an upstream issue to me. It is related to #879 in the sense that it might require some client-side changes.

Research direction
Reproduce the Comprehensive Rust shared-state example in the playground and compare its compiler output with the linked screenshots. Then inspect the client-side handling of compiler error messages, with the related #879 as context; done means the red, blue, and green compiler colors remain visible in the playground.
