Recently I stumbled over the c sharp docs

> **[Standardwertausdrücke: Erzeugen des Standardwerts für einen beliebigen Typ - C#](https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/default)**
>
> Verwenden Sie Standardwertausdrücke, um den uninitialisierten Standardwert eines Typs abzurufen. Der Standardwertausdruck kann mit generischen Typparametern zusätzlich zu anderen Typen verwendet werden.

and I like the way that I just could try c sharp in the browser.  
Since Julia has a repl I thought this would be a nice feature for the Julia documentation.

I guess it is not a trivial thing to have executable Julia code as part of all documentation. I guess a simpler task would be to get an open-source book such as [ThinkJulia](https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html) ported to NextJournal or Jupyter.
