Elide is like Node or Python. Use it to run things:

> elide ./my-code.{ts,js,py,kts,kt}

You can use Node APIs. You can even mix languages:

// sample.mts// use node apisimport{readFileSync}from"node:fs"// interoperate across languagesimportsamplefrom"./sample.py"// this is typescript - no build step needed first, like deno or bunconstx:number=42;console.log(sample.greeting()+` The answer is${x}`);

# sample.pydefgreeting(name="Elide"):returnf"Hello,{name}!"

> elide ./sample.mtsHello, Elide! The answer is 42

Elide can run Kotlin with no prior build step, can build Java code identically tojavac, and can build Kotlin code identically tokotlinc.

• KotlinX is supported out of the box with no need to install dependencies
• Build Kotlin to JVM bytecode, run tests, and install from Maven, all without verbose configuration

Elide usesApple's Pkl as a dialect for project manifests. This is like Elide's equivalent ofpackage.json orpom.xml. Here's an example:

amends"elide:project.pkl"name ="elide-test-ktjvm"description ="Example project using Elide with Kotlin/JVM."dependencies {maven {packages {// Guava"com.google.guava:guava:33.4.8-jre"    }  }}

This is the manifest used above ☝️ in theKotlin as a first-class citizen sample.

You can install Elide on Linux (amd64) or macOS (amd64/arm64) by running:

curl -sSL --tlsv1.2 elide.sh| bash -s -

After installation, you can runelide --help orelide info to see more information.

We provide a container image, hosted on GitHub:

docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/elide-dev/elide

We provide an experimentalGradle plugin which can:

• Acceleratejavac compilations by up to 20x (drop-in!) with identical inputs and outputs
• Accelerate downloading of Maven dependencies

The plugin documentation explains how it works. By native-image compiling tools likejavac, JIT warmup is skipped, potentially yielding significant performance gains for projects under 10,000 classes.

Installation in Gradle

plugins {  alias(elideRuntime.plugins.elide)}

We provide asetup action:

-name:"Setup: Elide"uses:elide-dev/setup-elide@v2with:# any tag from the `elide-dev/releases` repo; omit for latestversion:1.0.0-beta5

We provide aGitHub Codespace with Elide pre-installed. You can click below to try it out, right from your browser:
