Language support meta-issue

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

This issue tracks new languages which could be added to Riju. If your favorite language isn't supported, add a comment below and (provided it meets the criteria for inclusion) I'll put it in the list :chart_with_upwards_trend:

You can also feel free to file a separate issue, which is handy in case there is discussion about how to get the language working on Riju. I'll add the language to this list nonetheless.

Proposed

CUE
F*
Flix
GDScript
Hare
Janet
Lambda Zero
Lean
LSE
Microsoft SQL
Modula-3
Nickel
Object Pascal
PlusCal
Pony
Pyret
Raku (formerly known as Perl 6)
Skylark
[TLA+](https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/tla.html
VBA
VBScript
VHDL
WebAssembly
Vyxal

Nix

See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/697. Why this is so difficult for the Nix folks to straighten out I cannot quite fathom.

POP-11

Unfortunately, HOME, USER, USERNAME, and LOGNAME all seem to be totally ignored. That said, Q appears to be rather distastefully proprietary anyway, so perhaps it's for the best that it doesn't work.

Also, WebAssembly?

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

Those will both be excellent additions; added to the list.

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

We could add Zig.

edubart commented 3 years ago

Nelua (main branch), Zig (already mentioned) and Odin.

Disclaimer: I am working on Nelua, if you add support for it, then please enable Lua syntax highlighting to have some syntax highlight (although it will be incomplete), because it is a language derived from Lua.

Svelte already has it's own REPL, but when I saw "Every programming language", I had to check to see if svelte was here!

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

@FractalHQ, "Svelte is a language" notwithstanding... is Svelte actually a language? What would "Hello, world" look like?

braebo commented 3 years ago

It's considered a DSL for authoring web-based applications. At its core, it's a compiler that turns .svelte files containing a superset of HTML, vanilla JS (with utilities for automating reactivity and trivializing state management) and CSS, and spits out highly optimized vanilla JS and HTML. A hello world according to this cheeky Hello Worlds project could look like this.

That being said, I'd understand if it doesn't really align with the scope of this project considering it runs in the browser as opposed to having its own self contained runtime, and it already comes with it's own online REPL.

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

Yeah, in its current configuration Riju is limited to languages with a strictly textual input/output model. Anything dependent on a graphical frame or HTML rendering is kind of out of scope, unfortunately. I think things like configuration languages that "compile" to JSON are okay, because there's an obvious thing to print out when "executing" them, but for Svelte it's more like a general transpiler, which isn't the best match for this execution model. There are other applications (https://babeljs.io/repl, https://godbolt.org/, the Svelte REPL you linked) that are better suited for compiler-type tools.

Hi, good to see this project. My site seems to similar with your project. I'm making online compiler/interpreter site. I want to exchange skills with you to implement languages. sorry about my poor english. I'm korean, so I'm not good at english. If you see my site(although locale is korean you can execute many languages), you will get many ideas. Thank you!

raxod502 commented 3 years ago

Hey @adp-study! Sorry for the delay in response, I've been occupied by things outside of GitHub for a while. Your application looks super neat, and I've given it a shout-out in the README: https://github.com/raxod502/riju#similar-projects

Is it open-source?

ryusatgat commented 3 years ago

ryugod.com's security is very poor(it is experimental implimentation and private site). I will open source it to git soon with 400 or more syntax highlighting files. I'm just a securities company worker, not a developer. If you want see my sources, I will send you all of it. and, you can download all files in docker(Ubuntu 20.04), with command "imshow [filename]" command. or FTP, ssh. ex) tar cvf buzz.tar /opt/buzz; gzip buzz.tar; imshow buzz.tar.gz if you see some server code, command "code [filename]" ex) code .bashrc

Vyxal?

If anyone is interested in implementing GDScript support, feel free to look at GDScript Online which demonstrates a way to run arbitrary GDScript code in an exported project. The same approach can likely be used in headless mode, writing the output to a separate text file which can then be read (and keeping stdout/stderr tidy for errors).
