Run – Easily manage and invoke small scripts and wrappers

In plain words

Run is a tool for managing and invoking small scripts and wrappers. It helps users organize and execute custom scripts more easily, reducing the friction of running frequently-used commands and automation tasks. The tool is designed for developers and power users who work with multiple scripts and need a streamlined way to access them. Run was launched in 2019 and is available on GitHub.

  Run – a CLI universal code runner I built while learning Rust2025 · github.com · ▲96

  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…

  Runprompt – run .prompt files from the command lineNov 2025 · github.com · ▲134

  I built a single-file Python script that lets you run LLM prompts from the command line with templating, structured outputs, and the ability to chain prompts together. When I discovered Google's Dotprompt format (frontmatter + Handlebars templates), I realized it was perfect for something I'd been wanting: treating prompts as first-class programs you can pipe together Unix-style. Google uses Dotprompt in Firebase Genkit and I wanted something simpler - just run a .prompt file directly on the command line. Here's what it looks like: --- model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 output:…

  Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game▲716

  After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
