solc-js VS riju

GH issue I created: https://github.com/ethereum/solc-js/issues/692. Thanks for any suggestion.

Since the eth_compile API was deprecated, the available alternatives (Solc-JS and the extended Browser-Solc) work best in a server setup or is tightly coupled to the HTML DOM, they are not so flexible to work with in modern Javascript library environment such as ReactJS, well at least, not so straight-forward. This will make your application throw tantrums as you develop with them which, from my experience, is a terrible developer experience.

Since we want to compile our SimpleStorage.sol contract, we need to install the solc-js compiler. Here's the link to the solc-js repo => https://github.com/ethereum/solc-js

You can read more about solcjs here 👉 'solcJs'

If you install the compiler via npm, you really get solc-js, which is a thin JavaScript wrapper around a WebAssembly or asm.js version of the compiler binary. It's primarily meant to be used by JavaScript tools (such as Remix IDE for example) but it also provides a script called solcjs, which emulates the command-line interface of solc. It supports the --abi option so you can run it like this:

In this post I gonna compile a Solidity program with Solidity Compiler JS in browsers supported WebWorker.

Thanks for linking this. This is actually a superior offering to replit. They recently removed the ability to access a simple repl without logging in. Now you a) have to login and b) have to deal with this obtuse IDE-in-a-browser project creation shit. It's so many extra steps before I can run code.

I just want a URL in which I can run some code. https://riju.codes/ is literally that. Thanks!

An option is to do what I've done with my lang, Claro, getting the compiler and/or REPL hosted online on Riju. The maintainer is a very helpful guy that gave thorough docs you can follow for getting your language added. Check out https://riju.codes for the top level thing, and check out https://riju.codes/claro for an example what it looks like for a side project language to run there. Only issue there is you shouldn't expect regular redeploys as you continue working on the language. I just ask nicely every 3 or 4 months when I have some big change I'd like represented there and he redeploys.

There's the source code for such a site, if that would help: https://github.com/radian-software/riju

Docker + heavily restricted user + firewalls.. seems to get you much of the way there. I am aware that some work was done back in the pre-Docker day with Ruby's online sandbox to neuter Ruby's ability to make certain syscalls, but I imagine Docker, eBPF, or even using WebAssembly makes it a lot easier now.

Might as well link to an open source alternative: https://riju.codes/

Fun fact: Whenever I want to remember the name of this project, I just head over to https://HN.algolia.com and find out on the front page thanks to one of the most upvoted HN posts of all time, "Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424195

You should check out https://riju.codes it's really not that hard to get any old language running there :). It's a couple config files. I managed to get my language hosted there and the maintainer was really helpful in the process https://riju.codes/claro

Same here. However it did point me in the direction of the ex-interns awesome project which I used very often for technical interviews: https://riju.codes/

Faz fork do https://riju.codes (https://github.com/raxod502/riju) e implementa suporte pra matlab.

I miss the old repl.it, so I use https://riju.codes.
