I wanted to do a little demonstration where I write a simple task in several different programming languages, from high-level scripting languages like Perl and Javascript, to C and low-level assembly. I try to show the tradeoff between speed and ease of development on one hand and execution speed on the other. I also wanted to show how programs written in different languages may share the same logic, and in some cases most of the same syntax. Languages included: C, Emacs Lisp, Perl, PHP, Javascript, Java, BASIC, and amd64 assembly.
