Motivation
JustRun.It is a web application that allows users to write, run and share code snippets in any language* from a web browser A.K.A JSBin for server-side programming languages.
Users are freed from the hassle of setting up a language runtime just for writing a short block of code in it. Developers can now share code along with its runnable execution context with their peers.
Supported Programming Languages
- Python
- Ruby
- PHP
- Javascript (NodeJS runtime)
- Golang
Features
- Docker-powered Isolated execution environments for all snippet runs.
- Allow users to author snippets in a editor that supports Syntax Highlighting.
- Terminal Emulator which pipes the running snippet's STDOUT/STDERR streams to the browser.
- Ability to run snippets and see the results, as they arrive, on the terminal.
- Automatic dependency detection and installation for Python, Ruby and NodeJS snippets.
- Allow users to manually list their dependencies for PHP snippets.
- Allow users to fork other users' snippets as a starting point for their own.
- Allow users to see lint their snippets.
- Allow users to change the editor theme and persist the change across sessions.
Who is our Target Audience?
- Beginners/Hobbyists who’d like get started with a new programming language.
- Developers who’d like to try out a new library/package/module.
- Developers who’d like to share code along with its execution context with fellow developers so that it is runnable instantly.
- Instructors who’d like to set programming assignments for their students.
- Recruiters who’d like to test potential programming hires.
Things that we are particularly proud of:
- Stream the STDOUT, STDERR of the running snippet to a terminal emulator in the browser using Go channels and WebSockets.
- Automatic dependency detection and installation and the modular approach that we had taken to solve it.
