That doesn't seem like a very interesting choice. `print hello` or similar will not showcase much of any given language's syntax, and is actually likely to hit specialized syntax for printing (e.g. Python 2's print wasn't a function). It will show some of the boilerplate, for languages that need it (public static void main...).<p>"Every programming language" is also quite the claim, I only see 46 languages in there (Wikidata counts 1,449 "programming languages" Q9143).

Awesome! I apologize to pull the classic HN move but I built something similar with FizzBuzz, with the requirement that implementations run within a docker container (it was a project to learn Docker). <a href="https://github.com/jdan/fizzbuzz-polyglot" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jdan/fizzbuzz-polyglot</a><p>Thanks for putting this together though, you've got quite a suite here.
Is the longest program in terms of lines of code the one written in Whitespace? (14 lines). It’s also the shortest program if you don’t count whitespace.
