Polyglot Programming .. awesomely cool
A Polyglot program or script is one which will compile and run in multiple languages. Polyglots are written using a combination of programming languages and scripting languages like C,C++ and LISP , PERL , python.
It is hard to believe at first as one can ask how does a native C Cross Compiler understand the syntax of python or LISP.The trick is in tricking the compiler of programming language to think that we are writing code in say C.Awesome right.
A simple example of a polyglot program is
# define y >
# include
# define x z /*
print(“Crash\n”);__END__
++++++++++[>++++++++++>++++++++++<<-]
+++[>>+++++<-<-]>>.<+++++++.——-..>.+.–.<.*/
main()
{ printf (“Crash\n”); }
Let me tell you what is so special about this program well it will run in compilers of 3 different languages namely C , PERL and BRAINFUCK(or brainf**k).
This is simply wonderful.
Below is a link of a Polyglot program that runs in 8 different languages .. OMG
