    The cling C++ interpreter

  • "Exclusively" may be a tough claim. C++ has the Cling interpreter, for example. You could say that "most C++ implementations are compilers". My understanding with Python is that it is challenging to write a compiler for because it's a "dynamic" language. For example, it's possible to create a new datatype at runtime, or even to build strings and tell the interpreter to execute them as source code.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
