What's your quickest/lightest way to try a code?

Yes, we got plenty of Online playgrounds. But I mean the offline ones. I've always envied Javascript devs. All they need is just a notepad and a browser and they are good to try out a logic or an algorithm. Poor guys like me used to install Visual Studio Elephant (Here Elephant points to the size don't worry) Just to try a simple code, just because I was glued to .net. Now in recent times, I use VS Code & verify the code snippets that the team does with Python. This feels quick & snappy. :-O :thumbsup:

Usually a console app. Haven't made much use of this, but the C# Interactive Window is pretty cool: [Home · dotnet/roslyn Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/wiki/C%23-Interactive-Walkthrough)

I've always liked LINQPad - The .NET Programmer's Playground[^], ever since I heard of it anyway. It's meant for giving you a C# oriented way to query different databases, but I find it great for just trying snippets of C# code. *Not at all associated with the developer other than that we live in the same city and he gave an interesting talk a conference one time.

Have you tried Notepad++ with the CS-Script Plugin
Who the f*** is General Failure, and why is he reading my harddisk?

For
CorC++code, I usevimandgcconLinuxconsole. For quick prototyping,Lua(again, withvim, onLinuxconsole). -

But surely you'll have VS installed anyway? I don't see the issue? :confused: Like others have said though, in terms of "quick" I'll use console apps, especially if trying to develop an algorithm or something. If even that is too much for me, some days I'll just copy and paste my task onto a web forum and ask someone else to give the codes.

Notepad and CSC.

The worst thing is when you *think* you have given it a descriptive name, but then a week later you have no idea what the hell it is :laugh:
