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…

You write a standard solution, just like on LeetCode, and run it through the CLI. It identifies the problem by ID or title, executes your code against local test cases, and shows the result. It currently supports around 1.4k problems and multiple languages, including Python, C++, Rust, Java, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and others. The project is still an MVP. System design, SQL, and concurrency problems are not supported yet, but support for more problem types is planned. Made in Haskell!

Let me introduce the Tooltitude VS Code extension. Our extension augments the official GoLang extension with a set of power tools which make you a more productive developer.

Here’re some highlights - Highlighting of deprecated symbol usages in the editor (gopls doesn’t highlight them at the moment of writing) - Variable shadowing detection - Use of interface{} instead of any - Redundant parenthesis - Code actions - code changes activated by Ctrl+. (Win, Linux), or Cmd+. (on…
