FAQs

What programming languages does Sniprun support?

Sniprun officially supports a wide range of compiled and interpreted languages, including Python, Julia, Lua, JavaScript, TypeScript, Clojure, R, Mathematica, Sage, PHP, Swift, OCaml, and Rust. It can also connect to REPLs for virtually any language.

Does Sniprun work on Windows?

No, Sniprun does not currently support Windows. It is designed for Unix-like systems, with specific notes for NixOS and MacOS users needing to compile it locally. It has been tested on Linux.

Can Sniprun handle code with external file dependencies or relative paths?

Sniprun may encounter issues with programs that access files or use relative paths, as its current working directory is typically in `~/.cache/sniprun`. It does not run in a virtual environment, so relative imports might fail if not properly configured for the snippet's execution context.
