Jello: Print “jello ” in every programming language

mgraczyk 5y ago
Is this a postmodern fork of some "hello" repo? Why "jello", and why does the Readme say "hello" instead?

Awesome! I apologize to pull the classic HN move but I built something similar with FizzBuzz, with the requirement that implementations run within a docker container (it was a project to learn Docker). https://github.com/jdan/fizzbuzz-polyglot https://github.com/jdan/fizzbuzz-polyglot Thanks for putting this together though, you've got quite a suite here.

  The Dockerization of your samples makes the repo more useful. I don't want to have to install every language on my laptop.

That doesn't seem like a very interesting choice. `print hello` or similar will not showcase much of any given language's syntax, and is actually likely to hit specialized syntax for printing (e.g. Python 2's print wasn't a function). It will show some of the boilerplate, for languages that need it (public static void main...). "Every programming language" is also quite the claim, I only see 46 languages in there (Wikidata counts 1,449 "programming languages" Q9143).

  I thought this as well. I don't think it is a good showcase of the languages, just the simplest possible construct for outputting text.

  Right. Makes more sense to contribute to http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code.

    This is awesome! And also looks like a superset: http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Hello_world/Newbie http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Hello_world/Newbie (94 languages, with code and instructions for running them)

Related: Rosetta Code - https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code Has a bunch of different concepts implemented in a TON of different programming languages. Here's an example for the typical FizzBuzz exercise: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/FizzBuzz https://rosettacode.org/wiki/FizzBuzz (321 languages currently)

Is the longest program in terms of lines of code the one written in Whitespace? (14 lines). It’s also the shortest program if you don’t count whitespace.

  Nope, the Assembly one is one line longer.
