C

Must be compiled to 32bit. On 64bit machines use gcc -m32 or such.

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    char *c = "echo Just another C hacker";
    int foo=123; //unused                          /* Warning: there's a
    int k=(int)1                                    * (long) system
    //now for the fun part!                         * of chinese boxes
    //behold:                                       * in this code. */
    +0;
    -1;
    ((int(*)(char *))k)(c);
}

Disclaimer: not my idea. I found it years ago hidden in some piece of code. Seriously. Theirs was even better, I forgot several little details. But the gist is there.
