About CodeRunner
CodeRunner is a multi-language editor and lightweight IDE for macOS. It runs code in 25 languages out of the box, and other languages can be added by entering the terminal command that runs them. Over 200 syntax modes cover most text files.
It has fuzzy code completion with documentation snippets, and a built-in debugger with breakpoints, call stack and variable inspection for more than a dozen languages. It suits people who want to quickly write and run scripts or snippets without setting up a full IDE project.
