support for more languages

[warut-vijit]

Currently code golf only accepts Python submissions. Users should be able to submit their answers in (at least) Python, Java, and C++. This probably requires adding a language param to API resource AnswerResource, and creating shell scripts for running/compiling submissions in these languages to be called by subprocess.Popen in the function evaluate_user_code

@warut-vijit is this in the wrong repo?

[warut-vijit]

@sskhandek This is for the code golf feature on the rp2017 website. If you would like for this project to be moved to a different repository entirely, that is an option.

[sskhandek]

@warut-vijit ah, gotcha. Sorry, I was confused

[bluedrops]

Just a note for the future; we're going to have to migrate away from github pages eventually because github pages is static. Code golf will need an api hosted somewhere for it to work

[sskhandek]

@warut-vijit can we close this and put this somewhere else? A lot of devs hopefully are going to be working on frontend things here and we don't want to confuse them

[pranaygp]

@bluedrops It's still possible to have the code golf frontend on github pages, and have it talk to a backend API.

Though, if we're still getting that ACM VM you mentioned, then that would be better :)

[bluedrops]

@pranaygp Haha, you're technically not wrong, but that backend API still has to be hosted somewhere, and if we can host the backend somewhere, we might as well host the frontend there too.

Aashish got the VM for us! I'm working on deploying on there this week 👍
