Lean Web

This is a web application running Lean 4 server-side. There is a playground hosted at live.lean-lang.org and one at lean.math.hhu.de.

In contrast to the Lean 3 web editor, in this web editor, the Lean server is running on a web server, and not in the browser.

Scope of Lean Web

• Minimalistic and accessible way to run some (smallish) Lean snippets
• Run MWEs from Zulip with the latest Mathlib installed.
• Demonstrate some Lean code in talks/lecutres.
• Doodling around with Lean before installing it as a newcomer.
• Run some Lean code in a mobile context.

Currently, serious Lean code development and larger projects are considered out-of-scope. For these, it might be more suitable to look at a setup using Codespaces or Gitpot.

While lean4web looks very similar to VSCode with the Lean4 extension installed - and it reuses much of that code - lean4web does not claim to be feature complete.

PRs fixing issues are very welcome!

Regarding new features, it's best to write an issue first to discuss them: For example, some functionality might be better implemented in lean4monaco which provides the key features and a discussion might be helpful to figure this out.
