## What it is
Scriptisto is a language-agnostic 'shebang interpreter' that lets you write one-file scripts in compiled languages like C, Rust, or Go. It extracts build instructions from script comments, rebuilds on change with caching, and delegates to the compiled binary with under 1 ms overhead.

## Use cases
- write one-file scripts in compiled languages like C or Rust
- use compiled languages for unix scripting with a shebang
- run a .c or .rs file directly as an executable script
- build scripts in Docker without installing compilers on the host
- cache compiled scripts so repeated runs have minimal overhead
- replace bash scripts with typed compiled-language scripts

## When to choose
- you want one-file scripts in compiled languages on Linux/macOS
- you need fast cached rebuilds with near-zero runtime overhead
- you want builds isolated in Docker without host toolchains

## When to avoid
- you only write interpreted-language scripts (Python, Ruby, etc.)
- you need full build orchestration rather than single-file scripts
- you work primarily on Windows without a Unix-like environment

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: shebang, scripting, compiled-languages, caching, rust, command-line, automation, linux, macos
