The recent version of the playground allows selecting the "Go release" or "Go dev branch" compiler using a drop-down list.
The playground also accepts the v query parameter, and, when set, a new "Backend: $v" entry is added to the drop-down. What does Backend means here? Here are some examples for the v query parameter 1. v=go1.1 uses the Go current release (go1.17.8) 2. v=gotip correctly uses The Go dev branch 3. v=amd64 causes an "Error communicating with remote server." I suspect that v also accept tags, in fact a server error is also triggered when v=go1 and v=linux.
