Isn't it annoying when you find a piece of code and you don't know what language it was written in? This challenge attempts to somewhat solve this.
Challenge
You will have to write a program that when run in two different languages, will output the string:
This program wasn't written in <lang...
Encode integer

Given positive integer n > 1. We convert it to an array as follows:
If it is equal 2 return an empty array
Otherwise create array of all n's prime factors sorted ascending, then each element replace with its index in prime numbers sequence and finally convert each ele...
@Dennis Could you please delete this? OP edited it but decided to ignore the comment saying that it's invalid and since it's on an answer-chaining challenge I think it should be deleted ASAP. thanks
@OliverNi non-competing status does not exist anymore.
Determine your language's version code-golf code-challenge
Your challenge is to write a polyglot that works in different versions of your language. When run, it will always output the language version.
Rules
Your program should work in at least two versions of your language.

I've been thinking for a long time that our non-competing policy for newer languages (or language versions) is harmful. Just for context, we currently require all answers which require implementations that are newer than a challenge to be marked as non-competing. At the core there was a good inte...
hehe I can make one functional language in about 4 days so in theory for the OEIS challenge I can just keep making languages so I can answer the challenge repeatedly :D
I just created a slack account. Your password must contain bla bla bla, must be at lest bla characters long, and cannot be something like "password" or "123456". It accepted the password "1234567".
@HyperNeutrino I don't know too well what the codepage I have currently will do, as I haven't implemented anything really of the new stuff :P I have a general idea but I haven't written it down so I might forget it
actually I kinda want to save Proton for when another absurd math thing comes along because it's similar to Python and Java so I actually know how to use it
yeah I used it for a bit. that's where Symmidium team manager guy put the repository for the koding.com hackathon 2016 so I had an account there. not sure if I put any personal projects up there
I mean there was the Web of Hunger but that's an abandoned project
(btw Symmidium comes from the team manager not knowing how to spell "Symmidian", which is a triangle center we learned about a few days prior)
Input:
Two strings (NOTE: the order of input is important).
Output:
Both words/sentences start on lines with one empty line in between them. They 'walk' horizontally 'next to each other'. But when they have the same character at the same position, they cross each other, and then continue walki...
as a sample: Nested loops and conditionals don't work, because it just uses a global boolean flag to track whether it's currently in a loop or conditional
