Hello SG15,
I've been developing a free, open-source tool called Pterocos (
https://pterocos.eu.org) that I believe aligns with this group's interest
in C++ tooling. It's a browser-based code editor that runs entirely
client-side via WebAssembly, requiring no installation or account.
Key features for tooling exploration and development:
Monaco Editor backend: Provides a familiar VS Code-like experience with
syntax highlighting and autocompletion.
Client-side compilation: Compiles and executes C++ code locally in the
browser, making it ideal for quick prototyping and testing.
AI assistant integration: Built-in debugging and code generation assistance.
No setup friction: Lowers the barrier for testing snippets, exploring
language features, or sharing reproducible examples.
>From a tooling perspective, I think it could be useful for:
Rapidly experimenting with compiler flags and standard library
implementations.
Creating portable, shareable code demonstrations for documentation or bug
reports.
Lowering the entry barrier for new developers to experiment with C++.
The project is open-source, and I'm actively seeking feedback to improve
it, especially regarding compiler support, standard library conformance,
and integration with other C++ tools.
I'd be very interested in your thoughts and any suggestions that could make
this more valuable to the C++ developer community.
Best regards,
AmineKHD
