Code Runner is a lightweight code execution tool. I think of it as the middle ground between a REPL environment and actually running code normally. So you can execute a single file or even highlight specific lines and execute just them. It supports an amazing array of languages C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl, Perl 6, Ruby, Go, Lua, Groovy, PowerShell, BAT/CMD, BASH/SH, F# Script, F# (.NET Core), C# Script, C# (.NET Core), VBScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Scala, Swift, Julia, Crystal, OCaml Script, R, AppleScript, Elixir, Visual Basic .NET, Clojure, Haxe, Objective-C, Rust, Racket, AutoHotkey, AutoIt, Kotlin, Dart, Free Pascal, Haskell, Nim, D
I personally use it all the time with JS & Kotlin. I haven’t needed to change any settings, though code-runner.runInTerminal sounds interesting.
