Add integration with online playground for code samples about crystal-website HOT 4 OPEN

No? There are no interactive examples on the website. We only have them in https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-book (but it shouldn't be hard to copy that feature over)

It's not even necessary to run the samples with the new compiler during generation. So there are options if the compiler version used for each sample in the playground was more flexible. Maybe there could be an option to make a sample depend on the latest available compiler. When a new version is released, the old results would be deleted and executed again on demand. That would need to be implemented in the playground.

Alternatively, there could be an indirection between the link in the docs and the playground link. A microservice sits in between and every time there is a new release, it invalidates the old redirects, extracts the source code from the previous playground link and creates a new sample in the playground which is then cached until a new version is released.

The first option would be more flexible, though.

There's kind of a chicken and egg problem here. I cannot put a new version in the playground until it's released and the docs can't be build until there's the new version in the playground, right?

What if we build a command like crystal docs serve which augments the examples with crystal playground like functionality?

We can consider this solved, right @straight-shoota ?
