Adrian Kosmaczewski has been doing one of those "Rosetta stone" programming projects: he writes the same program, Conway's game of life, in dozens of languages.

@amoroso Well, there's also this: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life
From its homepage https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code
> Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one approach to a problem in learning another. Rosetta Code currently has 1,328 tasks, 390 draft tasks, and is aware of 972 languages, though we do not (and cannot) have solutions to every task in every language.
@smlckz Yes thanks, I'm aware of Rosetta Code.
@amoroso I haven't looked at the code, but CL being the shortest at 140 lines makes it seem as though it's doing more than just game of life?
@loke Do you mean 140 lines are too much for such a game?
@amoroso yes. My Kap example is only 6 lines, one of which being a single closing brace. The board computation itself is one line. https://kapdemo.dhsdevelopments.com/examples.html#_game_of_life
@loke Kap looks quite a bit more concise than most languages.
@ksaj @amoroso I have, and I think you may be invested in a project by an acquaintance of mine. https://github.com/kspalaiologos/malbolge-lisp
