go

Playing with go. Late to the party, but it's fun, I think.

thoughts

• fast
• some level of type-safety (just scratched the surface so far)
• good tool support (fast (!) compilation, the go tool itself, fetching libraries built-in, though versioning is missing)
• simple (mostly, goroutines + no proper sync will bite you, thinking helps, as always)
• pragmatic, possibly similar to clojure in this respect (which is somewhat surprising to me)
• misc
  • cross compilation is surprisingly painless

qst - run things quickly (and easily)

qst has already grown up, it now lives in it's own place. You can get it using go get github.com/heyLu/qst.

intended to be run in unfamilar environments, you pass it a file or a directory and it tries to detect what it is and how to run it.

run qst . to run anything.

Lingua evalia - evaluate anything!

Lingua evalia has also grown up recently, it now lives on it's own as well. You can get it using go get github.com/heyLu/linguaevalia and then start it by running $GOPATH/bin/linguaevalia.

Lingua evalia is a web service and a command line tool that allows you to run code in any language quickly and easily. Using the web server is simple: you open the site, start writing code and then press ctrl-enter to evaluate it.
