DidaRide

A Java-based project that lets you write and run scripts/projects in Perl, Lua, and Kotlin.

Features

• Java CLI tool to run scripts in Perl (perl_projects), Lua (lua_projects), and Kotlin (kotlin_proj)
• Add your own files to the appropriate folder
• Example scripts for each language

Requirements

• Java 11+ (to run this project)
• Perl, Lua, and Kotlin compilers/interpreters installed and available in your PATH

Usage

1. Build the project (using Maven or your preferred method).
2. Add your scripts to the corresponding folder:
   • Perl: perl_projects/
   • Lua: lua_projects/
   • Kotlin: kotlin_proj/
3. Run the Java CLI:

   java -cp target/classes com.example.MultiLangRunner
   

4. Follow the prompts to select a language and provide your filename.

Example

To run the example Perl script:

• Select perl as language
• Enter hello.pl as filename

Same for Lua (hello.lua) and Kotlin (Hello.kt).

Notes

• For Kotlin, your .kt file should have a main function.
• The script runner assumes the interpreters/compilers are in your PATH.
