What if a solution consists of multiple binaries of different programming langauges?

[nya3jp]

If I understand README correctly, this repository is going to host Dockerfiles, each of which corresponds to a single programming language.

But what if a solution consists of multiple binaries of different programming languages? For example, what if it a solution consists of C++ binary and Rust binary interacting each other with IPC?

As a part of upcoming contest you will be required to submit a small program using a single programming language. I cannot disclose the nature of this task in advance, but we think that given the constraints you would not want to write this small program as a set of multiple binaries using multiple runtimes.

Of course, you can still use any languages locally during development of this small program.

@beevee & @nya3jp, as we now have support for bash, is this issue still relevant?

[nya3jp]

My initial question was resolved by the answer by @beevee. I don't know the nature of the task (of course!), so I just trust the reply that participants are unlikely to write multi-language solutions.

You can close the issue now, but keeping it open for a while might be useful for other participants who got the same question.

[beevee]

Exactly, I'm keeping it open to help other users who might have the same question.

What about dependencies which builded with another language/libraries requirements? (e.g. opencv)

Maybe it’s worth letting participants specify their own Dockerfile with a build time limit?
