Compute API

Execute code in sandboxed environments. Supports multiple languages.

Beta v0.8.6

Languages Supported

Language connectors live in lib/connectors/ (subprocess per language): python, julia, rust, plus node/ruby/go/php connectors.

Functions

Function	What
`invoke(func, args, lang)`	Call a function in a language (default python)
`evaluate(code, {lang, timeout})`	Evaluate raw foreign code
`run(scriptPath, options)`	Run a script file
`status()`	Worker status
`list()`	Available languages
`has(lang)`	Check language availability

Shortcuts pass the language through: compute.python(...), compute.julia(...), compute.rust(...) - they call invoke with the same (func, args) signature.

Usage

const compute = require('vant/lib/compute');

// Call a function with args in a language
const result = await compute.invoke('numpy.linalg.eig', { matrix: [[1,2],[3,4]] }, 'python');

// Or evaluate raw code
const out = await compute.evaluate('print("hello from python")', { lang: 'python' });

// Shortcuts use the same (func, args) shape
const py = await compute.python('numpy.linalg.eig', { matrix: [[1,2],[3,4]] });

// Languages + status
const langs = compute.list();
const s = compute.status();
