Sniprun is a code runner plugin for neovim written in Lua and Rust. It aims to provide stupidly fast partial code testing for interpreted and compiled languages. Sniprun blurs the line between standard save/run workflow, jupyter-like notebook, and REPL/interpreters.

Python, Julia, Lua, JavaScript & Typescript (via deno), Clojure, R, Mathematica, Sage, coming soon for many other interpreted (and compiled) languages. With REPL-like behavior, you can run code dependent on previously executed code, just like in a REPL, from within your favorite editor.
Sniprun is a way to quickly run small snippets of code, on the fly, and iterate very quickly and conveniently. To learn a language, to quickly experiment with new features (not yet embedded in classes or a whole project etc...), or to develop simple code pipelines (like a machine learning exercise) that fit in a unique file, sniprun is probably the best plugin out there.
As a matter of proof, Sniprun :

It's been quite a journey already! For history fans, see the full changelog.
Sniprun has been made contributor-friendly (see CONTRIBUTING.md), so it's relatively easy to create / fix interpreters for any language. But any (constructive) issue, discussion, or doc Pull Request is a welcome form of contribution !
