My favourite demo of all time https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56112

It features programming in multiple languages: cobol, fortran, lua, pascal, ruby, vala, ada, d, java, objc, scheme, visualbasic, asm, javascript, ocaml, python, shell

Big shame no videos of it are up on the internet anymore, I've looked quite hard, but nothing. The code is available here however: https://launchpad.net/binaryofbabel/+download

I would have expected them to at least be on archive.net's software area. Given that they are now cultural heritage we should do better to preserve them, especially the videos that could inspire the next generation of hackers.
