Ginker

Ginker is a GUI application for auto-evaluating your Golang code. It allows you to write and run Golang code on the fly and it will help you to quickly prototype new ideas.

It's similar to Go Playground but instead of using a web service, it will evaluate your Golang code locally using your Golang binary.
