Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@plurnk/plurnk-execs-common

v1.8.0

Published

Universal subprocess executor for plurnk-service's exec scheme — one package exposing the shell + node + python floor plus whichever host interpreters (perl, ruby, php, lua, awk, bc, …) are present.

Readme

@plurnk/plurnk-execs-common

The universal subprocess executor for plurnk-service's exec scheme. One package covers the shell, Node, Python, and whichever supported host interpreters are present. Node is guaranteed; the rest are detected.

A @plurnk/plurnk-execs-* sibling built on the plurnk-execs framework. Supersedes the former -sh, -node, -python packages (folded in here).

How it works

The manifest claims the subprocess tags. Per-tag probe() reports Node unconditionally because the daemon already runs on it. A cheap command -v detects every other interpreter, so one executor adapts to the host.

| Tag | Binary | Inline body via | | -------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | sh 🐚 / bash 🐚 | sh / bash | -c <body> | | node ⬢ | node | -e <body> (always available) | | python / python3 🐍 | python3 | -c <body> | | perl 🐪 / ruby 💎 / lua 🌙 | perl / ruby / lua | -e <body> | | php 🐘 | php | -r <body> | | deno 🦕 | deno | eval <body> | | bun 🥟 | bun | -e <body> | | tcl 🪶 | tclsh | stdin | | bc 🧮 | bc | stdin (for example, 6 * 7) | | awk 🪄 | awk | program arg, empty stdin (BEGIN { … }) |

A script or working directory — the (target) slot

The table above is the inline form: the body is the program. A file in the (target) slot is instead the script each interpreter reads directly, and the body becomes that script's stdin. A directory target becomes the working directory and the body remains the inline program ({§executor-subprocess-routing}).

## EXEC0 [sh] (./deploy.sh)
yes
yes
no

## EXEC0 [python] (transform.py)
3
1
4

5

The first operation answers a shell script's prompts through stdin. The second feeds records to a Python script.

All declared tags run host code, so every invocation is proposal-gated. The current installed in-process evaluators are jq, SQLite, and WebAssembly; their pure or read invocations bypass the proposal gate but still return through the same next-turn stream path ({§executor-effect}). Input-processing transforms (sed, input-driven awk) await an EXEC input-channel contract and are not claimed here.

Configuration

Per-tag kill-switches (PLURNK_EXECS_<TAG>=0) and the PLURNK_EXECS_ONLY allowlist are honored by framework discovery, uniformly across every plugin ({§executor-policy}). A disabled tag is not registered and never reaches this executor.

Tests

test:lint, test:unit. Live-eval tests auto-skip where the interpreter is absent.
