Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Ced is a minimal C REPL implemented in 50 lines of POSIX shell and awk, allowing users to type C statements line by line and see results immediately. It manages a skeleton C program behind the scenes, handling compilation and error recovery transparently. Its tiny footprint and reliance on standard tools make it interesting for quick C experimentation.

Target audience: backend devs, c developers
