Book - Friday, February 05, 2010 3:22 AM ( #1 )
Has anyone ever seen a book that does cross language documentation.
In other words...

This bit of code does this in VBS
         *&^*(^**(*&^*(^

     This does the same thing in C

         !@!@#$%$^&*&&

     This does the same thin in Java

         )&&%^&%

     ETC...

I have not. There are sites that do this sort of thing for chunks of code. For instance I know that there is at least one (and probably more) site that I have seen that has many diferent language versions of Hello World.

There are a few books that do compare and contrast languages, but I don't think it'll be what you're looking for since they're highly abstract. Is there anything in particular you were wanting to see?

Of course if you're interested in the abstract stuff, you may like this: http://blip.tv/play/6VbaqWQA
