i still don't understand this since the last time you posted it
is the readme in examples supposed to be empty

It looks like it takes the file containing the function, slaps an int main() in there which calls the function with the appropriate arguments, and then compiles and runs the code. No values can be returned from the function and my guess is it will only work with a few data types (int, float, char, maybe string) so good luck using anything remotely interesting.

i understand it gets a little complicated depending on what's being returned, but for returning values wouldn't it be feasible to wrap that in an input()?

If what you are returning can easily be represented as a string, I suppose you could.

So in theory you could stringify any object and return that as long as you have a deserialization step to handle it.

Then you'd need to modify the C/C++ code so that it doesn't return a Widget type or whatever and instead serializes the data in such a way that it can be deserialized by the caller.
At this point it's just FFI with me doing all the work. Plus, every time a function is called with different arguments, the C compiler is invoked (this also means whoever is running the code will need a C compiler installed, which seems like a big ask).

Yeah, seems really rigid tbh

Hello! am the owner of sushi - a library to help you migrate from one language to another and wanted to announce 0.1! When I first posted about sushi, it had lots of bugs and was in a really early stage. After releasing 0.1 all bugs were fixed and suggestions from my last post were applied.
So what really is sushi? As the title says it's a library to help you migrate from one language to another. It can also be used if you can't find any library for your language. In future, I want to have it compatible with any language.
If it sounds interesting, you can help me continue growing this project by giving it a star and contributing to it. Thanks for all the support!
I will also listen to all your suggestions and opinions about it, so if you have any - comment it!
Examples: https://github.com/dev-sushi/sushi/tree/main/examples. I will add more when auto indexing will be ready (alternative to regex based indexing)
