+## How it Works
+
+Read the source code, specifically `src/struct/LanguageHandler.js`.  
+In summary, for every language there is a docker image which spins up a docker container.  
+The container is used for all evaluations of code, restarting if something goes wrong.  
+The container is locked down, so there is no networking, limited memory and CPU usage, and a time limit.
