glot.io, an open source pastebin with runnable snippets

By Vasudev Ram

> glot.io

I came across this site today via the Net:

glot.io, an open source pastebin with runnable snippets and API.

It allows you to type or paste in snippets of code and then run them on the site.

glot.io supports 36 languages at the time of checking it, from Assembly to TypeScript and many others in between.

I tried it out with a simple Python snippet. It worked. You can see both the snippet and the start of the output in the screenshot below.

I had blogged about these roughly similar sites earlier:

Codingbat, Progress Graphs and Michael Jordan

repl.it, online REPL for many languages, and empythoned

Online Python Tutor looks quite interesting

codepad.org, executable multi-language pastebin, in Python

about - codepad

codepad - http://codepad.org - is an online pastebin. It lets you enter your code, written in Python or one of some other popular languages, into a text box. You then click a button on the page to run the code. Codepad shows the output from the run.

You don't have to register on the site to edit and run code, only to save code. You also get a unique URL for your code, which you can share via chat, email or on your web site or blog.

I tried out Codepad with a simple Python function  definition and two calls to it. It worked:

The Codepad site is written in Python using the Pylons web framework and the SQLAlchemy ORM, and some other techniques such as a supervisor and virtual machines, which are of interest too, IMO.

Steven Hazel is the creator of Codepad, and also founder of Sauce Labs, a Selenium testing company.

ideone.com, runnable pastebin (40+ languages)

By Vasudev Ram


ideone.com is a pastebin that also lets you run your code, provide input for it, get stats, ... in 40+ programming languages. Saw it via my recent post about fmap() and subsequent comment and a tweet about it by a reader (@dnene).

ideone looks worth checking out.

Pastebins have a lot of features nowadays

By Vasudev Ram


Pastebins are web sites that allow you to paste a chunk of text into a text box. The pastebin software then generates a unique URL for your paste, which you can then share with others via web pages, blog posts, emails, etc. The idea was probably initially used to paste code snippets to share with others via the URL (instead of sharing the whole snippet), but they can be used for any kind of text.

A simple pastebin example:

Definition and call of a Python function.

Pastebins will be known to many or most developers already, but I'm writing this post because: 1) I find the concept interesting and innovative, 2) they have many more features nowadays than they did in the earlier days, and 3) some developers and others probably still don't know about them.

See this Wikipedia article on pastebins.

GitHub gists, pastebins with a Git twist

By Vasudev Ram - dancingbison.com | @vasudevram | jugad2.blogspot.com

Saw this recently - seems like a nice idea:

GitHub gists (quoting from the site), are:

"a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable as a git repository."

"Snippets", in the above, means, of course, code snippets, since GitHub is a code repository site.

The GitHub gist entry page (where you can create a gist) tries to detect the programming language used in the gist by the file name extension - you can paste the code into a text box, as in a pastebin, but you have to give the gist a file name, like foo.py or bar.c .
