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!](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/279420/stack-snippets-upgrade-virtual-console)
