I wrote a lightweight scripting language that runs together with C. Specifically, it's a C library, you run it through a C function call, and it can callback your own C functions. Compiles to ~250 kB. No dependencies beyond the C standard library. Key language features: * Uses aliases not pointers, so it's memory-safe * Arrays are N-dimensional and resizable * Runs scripts or its own 'shell' * Error trapping * Methods, inheritance, etc. * Customizable syntax

Hello everyone, Please let me introduce the system, it's called Zetken CI/CD Studio. This is local CI/CD system to create and run pipelines on your computer. The system works on Windows, Linux and macOS. This is a standalone binary file with no CI server to configure, just download, run and open in browser. You can also migrate your existing pipelines from GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and Jenkins. It would be awesome if you could check it and give me some feedback. Zetken currently provides these features: Local pipeline execution Native Zetken YAML Pipeline validation Run history…

Hi HN — I’m learning Rust and decided to build a universal CLI for running code in many languages. The tool, Run, aims to be a single, minimal dependency utility for: running one-off snippets (from CLI flags), running files, reading and executing piped stdin, and providing language-specific REPLs that you can switch between interactively. I designed it to support both interpreted languages (Python, JS, Ruby, etc.) and compiled languages (Rust, Go, C/C++). It detects languages from flags or file extensions, can compile temporary files for compiled languages, and exposes a unified REPL…
