Description

I use a lot the code runner in javascript to play with other libraries or to create a spike for a function and usually I end up filling my snippets with console.log to get the output. Probably it would be useful that the extension automatically prints to the console the result of the evaluation. The ramda playground is a good example: http://ramdajs.com/repl/ Opinions?

Thx

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Code Runner evaluates JavaScript code and consider wrapping the evaluated expression with console.log to automatically print the result. Look at the code runner's execution flow for JavaScript files and find where the evaluated value can be captured.
