Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks in large part to the efforts of [canon](http://meta.stackexchange.com/users/159427/canon) and his [MIT licensed virtual console library for Stack Snippets](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/279053/262550), we now have a virtual console!

Normally I'd do screenshots, but with Stack Snippets I can just give you a live demo instead. Check it out!

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true -->

<!-- language: lang-js -->

    console.log("virtual!");
    console.log("console!");

<!-- language: lang-html -->

    <b>Here's some HTML</b>

<!-- end snippet -->

Feedback welcomed!
