I stumbled upon the Hello World collection (here: http://helloworldcollection.de), and discovered a couple of other similar resources (like this: https://github.com/leachim6/hello-world).

Instead of just reading these snippets, I wanted to actually execute them — without installing dozens of compilers, interpreters, and runtimes locally.

So I built a small framework that does just that. As of now it supports ~50 languages, and I’ll keep adding more over the next couple of weeks — I’d love to hit ~300 soon.

Eventually I'd like to extend this into something more feature rich - still figuring out what those features are... :-)

Quickstart (requires Docker):

Step 1, git clone https://github.com/joelalcedo/polyglot-helloworld

Step 2, cd polyglot-helloworld && ./run_all.sh

What I’d love feedback on: better ways to structure the language definitions, and ideas for what this framework could evolve into beyond Hello World. PRs welcome.
