Polyglot

A polyglot is a program that contains code in more than one language and produces the same output when it is compiled, assembled or interpreted in all of them. The most famous example is Polyglot.

The original 1991 version contained seven languages, the 10th Anniversary Edition from 2001 added an eight, Perl.

Please note that the blank lines are essential (in some languages) and that the highlighting of some languages is rather screwed up...

Copying Polyglot

We have had a couple of enquiries about copying polyglot and including it in various Linux distributions.
Polyglot is in the public domain. You are free to do as you please with it. If you do use it, an acknowledgement would be nice.
The authors are Kevin Bungard, Peter Lisle, and Chris Tham. You can contact them here. Thanks goes to George Janczuk.
