ccsh

Description: Use C as a scripting language"

ccsh is a scripting language that is intended to be powerful and easy to use for people already familiar with the C language. By harnessing the power of the C compiler (which should have been installed on your system with the rest of your OS), ccsh will turn your lines of code into bytes of data that the CPU can run directly. Since no intermediary interpretation is done (like bash, csh, etc.), your code can run hundreds of times faster!

Okay, fine. It's a stupid little program that strips the first line of your code, compiles and executes your code via gcc, and creates and removes temp files along the way. And yes, it compiles and executes your code each time you run the script.

Who Would Use It?

• If you find you frequently make little C test programs that don't need Makefiles, and you don't like the many compile/run steps that you have to make.
• If you for some reason don't like maintaining separate source and executable. (Of course, that's why we have package managers)
• Perhaps you have a heterogenuous computing environment with a shared filesystem. This will give you a way to run the same "code" on both machines, again not having to maintain the binaries.
• You want to tell your friends/newbies the funny things that Haiku people do.
