cher

This tool allows you to run programs written in different languages without the necessity of installing compilers or some other tooling.

Usage

cher has 3 working modes:

• run
• repl
• shell

In run mode cher runs code in chosen language and prints output to the command line:

% ./cher run test_sources/main.rs
Hello from Rust! Do you know that 2^10 = 1024?
%

In repl mode cher runs REPL (read-eval-print-loop) in languages that have it:

% ./cher repl ruby 
irb(main):002:0> 2**42
=> 4398046511104
% 

In shell mode cher runs cli in docker container. In that cli you will have access to all tools in the chosen language. All files of the current directory are placed on /workdir path:

% ./cher shell go
/go$ cd /workdir/test_sources/
/workdir/test_sources$ go run main.go 
Hello from Golang!
/workdir/test_sources$ 
%
