SourceCodeDetector

Source code detector 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?")
}

Documentation

• Guesslang documentation is available at https://guesslang.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

• Guesslang language detection explained here https://guesslang.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how.html

• Guesslang is based on Tensorflow machine learning framework

Installation

• Python 3.6+ is required

• 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 /bin/which:

guesslang /bin/which

# ⟶ 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)
  }
}
' | guesslang

# ⟶ Programming language: Scala

• 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)}')
