# 🧬 Methods in Other Languages

While most examples use Python or Bash, the CCP platform supports methods in any language that can run in a container.

This includes compiled or runtime-based languages like:

- Java
- R
- C/C++
- Rust
- Julia
- etc

---

## 📦 Requirements

Your code must:

- Run inside a supported Docker image (`ccpimage`)
- Accept input parameters via shell arguments or environment variables
- Write outputs to `/ccp_data`
- Be either compiled or interpreted at runtime

---

## 💡 Language-Specific Tips

### Java

- Use `openjdk` Docker images
- Package your method as an executable JAR
- Use `java -jar mymethod.jar --input {{file}}`

### R

- Use `r-base` image or images with tidyverse pre-installed
- Provide an `install.R` script for dependencies
- Run with `Rscript myscript.R --input {{file}}`

### Rust / C / C++

- Use multistage builds or compile in deploy phase
- Execute via CLI using standard parameters
