Cross-language development [home.cs.tum.edu]

Fun code that compiles/executes in 8 languages!

It mostly just relies on the fact that different languages have conveniently different comment characters (eg. #define would be a comment in shell or perl), but it's still kinda cute!

Sad to say, there did not appear to be an IOCCC (http://www.au.ioccc.org/years.html) in 2005. I wonder if this code has ever been entered. Semi from TramTown (I'm the CSIRAC nitpicker, BTW).
