I've been reading some depressing stories about programming when a bit caught my eye:
Makes me wonder, how many ways can Southperry count to 10? Anything that a computer can run to print an output counts. JavaScript to C++. Python to Assembly.
Guidelines:
Quote:If you can successfully write a loop that goes from 1 to 10 in every language on your resume, can do simple arithmetic without a calculator, and can use recursion to solve a real problem, you're already ahead of the pack!

Guidelines:
- Using a language multiple times is fine, as long as the methodologies are different.
- The quote says "loop". Don't hardcode it in. eg: Don't type out 1 through 10 and have the program print it out.
- Simpler, more elegant solutions are better. Strive for those.
