Program Chrestomathy

In computer programming, a program chrestomathy is a collection of similar programs written in various programming languages, for the purpose of demonstrating differences in syntax, semantics and idioms for each language. The best known of these is the [http://www2.latech.edu/~acm/HelloWorld.shtml ACM "Hello, World!" project] .

The term is thought to have been first used by Eric S. Raymond in the Retrocomputing Museum web site. It is used by analogy to a linguistic chrestomathy.
