Any features from Python's "pwk" to be inspired by?

https://github.com/umlet/pwk - this is very nice.

Some overlap of course, but there could be some things to be inspired by. Particularly the execution of a inline string instead of a source file (suffixed with .java or not).

Thanks. Will definitely take a closer look.

A way to directly execute a string might be nice. Something like jbang run -s 'System.out.println("Hello World")'.
Although we'd probably have to see how useful this is. How many useful Java one-liners are there? :-)

[paul-hammant]

I would imaging there'd be a lot more Java one-liners after this feature lands :)

cat '....' | jbang works today :)

sorry, I meant echo, like:

echo 'if ("braces".equals("bad")) { System.out.print("Be gone!"); System.exit(99); } else { System.out.print("Howdy!"); }' | jbang -

[maxandersen]

i looked at pwk - not sure what else it does that makes sense for jbang ?

[maxandersen]

moving to discussion as not really a bug :)
