It is tool to enable writing one file scripts in languages that require compilation, dependencies fetching or preprocessing.
It works as a "shebang" for those scripts, extracting build instructions from comments. If a script is changed, it rebuilds it and caches the result. If it was already built, it immediately delegates to a binary with only <1 ms overhead.
Advantages and use-cases are listed in the Wiki.
```c
// scriptisto-begin
// scriptsrc: main.c
// buildcmd: clang -O2 main.c pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0 -o ./script
// scriptisto-end
int main(int argc, char argv[]) { gchar user = g_getenv("USER"); printf("Hello, C! Current user: %s\n", user); return 0; } ```
shell
$ chmod +x ./script.c
$ ./script.c
Hello, C! Current user: username
Scriptisto is available as a prebuilt statically-linked standalone binary or distrubutions packages at Releases or at Crates.io.
