Guesslang
Guesslang detects the programming language of a given source code:
echo '
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("My mascot is a gopher and Google loves me. Who am I?")
}

Installation
-
Python 3.7+ is required
-
Install the latest stable version:
pip3 install guesslang
- or install Guesslang from source code:
pip3 install .
- Windows specific
To run Tensorflow on Microsoft Windows you need to install Visual C++ runtime libraries, available on Microsoft website
Guesslang command line
- Show all available options
guesslang --help
- Detect the programming language of
/etc/bashrc
configuration file:
guesslang /etc/bashrc
# ⟶ Programming language: Shell
- Detect the programming language of a given text:
echo '
/** Turn command line arguments to uppercase */
object Main {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val res = for (a <- args) yield a.toUpperCase
println("Arguments: " + res.toString)
}
}

- Show the detection probabilities for a given source code:
echo "
def qsort(items):
if not items:
return []
else:
pivot = items[0]
less = [x for x in items if x < pivot]
more = [x for x in items[1:] if x >= pivot]
return qsort(less) + [pivot] + qsort(more)
if __name__ == '__main__':
items = [1, 4, 2, 7, 9, 3]
print(f'Sorted: {qsort(items)}')
