Nerd quiz - Can you name a programming language for every letter of the alphabet?

Where's the challenge in that? I wanna see a factorial function, iterative and recursive (where applicable), in each. Now that's a nerd.

I'm guessing Trevor and rtm could manage about half the alphabet. pg, not a chance, he's too much of a language bigot.

I'd be lucky to get through maybe five without consulting a reference of some sort.

arc, b, c, dylan, erlang, franz lisp, goo, haskell, interlisp, jscheme, kawa, lisp 1.5, maclisp, newlisp, ocaml, perl, qi, ratfor, scheme, t, uci lisp, verilog, waterloo basic, xlisp, yacc, zetalisp

(Being a language bigot doesn't constrain you too much if your favorite language is a language-family.)

Touché.

Once again, age and guile beats (relative) youth, innocence, and a bad haircut.

Touché. Hehehe...Looks like my challenge should have involved multi-byte encodings, if I wanted to pick on pg. ;-)

Argh. You just had to go and ruin a good jab by fixing the problem. ;-)
