xeus-cling is a Jupyter kernel for the C++ programming language, built on the Cling C++ interpreter and the native xeus implementation of the Jupyter protocol. It lets users run C++ code interactively in Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab.

Use cases

• run c++ interactively in jupyter notebooks
• teach c++ in a notebook environment
• prototype c++ code without compiling full projects
• explore c++ standard library features in a repl
• create executable c++ tutorials and documentation

When to choose

• you want an interactive C++ REPL inside Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab
• you are teaching or learning C++ and want immediate feedback
• you need to mix C++ code cells with markdown documentation
• you work on Linux or macOS and use conda/mamba

When to avoid

• you need Windows support, since no packages are provided
• you need the latest C++ standards beyond what Cling supports
• you want to build production C++ applications rather than experiment
• you cannot use conda/mamba and building from source is impractical
