esubaalewon Show HN: Run – a CLI universal code runner I built while learning Rust

Cool point it is not about comparing run-kit with ipython and they are different things. Ipython is about python and mine is about different languages. And btw I am adding variables between different languages

TBH, my plan was not to replace any of the previous ones, and the name polygot is from my idea of many languages in with a single command, and as simple as run 'code' or run lang code

You're right—Kotlin can be used as Kotlin/JS for web development, and as a compiled language when we're talking about Android development. Context matters

esubaalewon Show HN: Run – a CLI universal code runner I built while learning Rust

You're right—and the same applies to Kotlin. Swift is more like Rust, C, and C++ in that it compiles directly to machine code. So yes, Swift is currently listed under the wrong category.

As for Kotlin, it could reasonably be placed under either "Web & scripting" or "Compiled," depending on how it's used. Since Kotlin can also compile to JavaScript, its classification depends on the context. If we're talking about Android development, then Kotlin is clearly a compiled systems language.

To clarify: Swift is a compiled, statically typed systems language, much like Rust, C++, or Go. Its core toolchain (swiftc) compiles code into native binaries.

It's simple. It was made by someone who's just starting out with Rust.

esubaalewon Show HN: Run – a CLI universal code runner I built while learning Rust

Yes, that's exactly the point. What I'm trying to do is: 1. Use Rust because it's fast. 2. Make REPLs universal, so we don't need separate REPLs for different languages. 3. And third—though not a new idea—is to create better abstractions, like allowing print statements without requiring a main function, and accessing variables without explicitly printing them.

The idea is similar to IPython, which provides an interactive interface for programming languages. The motivation isn't about building a massive CLI tool—it's about questioning why we need a separate REPL for each language when we could use a single command-line interface that lets us switch between languages on the fly.
