Oh boy was this more of a pain than I expected.
Creates an interactive playground similar to the typespec or typescript ones, based on https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor
The actual code generation is off-loaded to a web worker, which actually made the react side of things much simpler and easier to reason about, and reduces blocking on the UI thread/main event loop.
Prettier is used instead of Biome due to difficulties getting the WASM to load correctly in the browser / with nextjs. Unfortunately Prettier hits a maximum recursion limit when formatting some of the larger files (in firefox at least), so it would be good to revisit this and try and get Biome working.
When loading the larger files, the performance of the editor gets a bit shaky. I'm unsure if there is a way to offload more of the editor to web workers to reduce strain on the UI thread.
