Nov 18, 2012 at 19:29 comment added ugoren There are languages (e.g. Whitespace, BrainF**k and Perl), where pretty much any character combination is a valid program. They can be claimed by any program.

Jan 3, 2012 at 3:43 comment added st0le @shamp00, infact when you try to access a deleted question on stackoverflow they show you a polyglot :D see here
Jan 2, 2012 at 15:15 comment added shamp00 @st0le: Thanks for that, I failed to find the name for this type of program (and I am surprised to find that this is the first use of the polyglot tag on this site).
Jan 2, 2012 at 15:15 comment added shamp00 @PeterTaylor: Point taken, and many languages are likely to be similar, e.g., C/C++, Tex/LaTeX. Perhaps that's the nature of the game - to win you have to target the language that has the most number of near-variants.
Jan 2, 2012 at 13:14 comment added Peter Taylor If sh, bash, and zsh count as different languages even when it's essentially only using sh then I think you need to specify precisely what you count as different languages. E.g. Perl 4 vs Perl 5.10 have some significant differences.
