bridgeit

An experimental hack to run other languages than python in solve.it.com.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• https://solve.it.com

Installation

!pip install -U bridgeit

How it Works

BridgeIt enables running non-Python languages in SolveIt notebooks through a three-step process:

1. Compiler Installation: Automatically installs language compilers and toolchains (e.g., evcxr for Rust, Mojo via pixi)

2. Kernelspec Registration: Registers Jupyter kernelspecs that define how to execute each language

3. Cell Magic Binding: Creates IPython cell magics (e.g., %%rust, %%mojo) that bridge notebook cells to the installed kernels

When you use %%rust or %%mojo, BridgeIt sends your code to the appropriate kernel for execution and displays the results inline.

Usage

Quick Start

import bridgeit

# Show available commands
bridgeit.help()

# List supported languages
bridgeit.langs()

Rust Example

# Install Rust kernel
bridgeit.install("rust")

# Activate Rust magic
bridgeit.use("rust")

%%rust
fn main() {
    println!("Hello from Rust 🦀");
}
main()

%%rust
let value = 21;
println!("{}", value * 2);

Mojo Example

# Install Mojo kernel
bridgeit.install("mojo")

# Activate Mojo magic
bridgeit.use("mojo")

%%mojo
fn main():
    print("Hello from Mojo 🔥")
main()

%%mojo
alias value = 10
print(value * 3)
