Writing a simple algorithm in lots of languages.
The question is to take this word list, and print out the longest word that shares at least one letter with 31 of the 32 Irish counties. The right answer is microspectrophotometries which is 24 letters long and shares at least one letter with every county except Galway.
The goal isn't to write the best implementation in each language, but to write the best version I can get working with a reasonable amount effort (including install and set up of the language), whilst following the path of least resistance. If the path of least resistance leads to writing a good solution, so much the better.
The hope is that I'll learn a little bit of some new languages, get a feeling for how to work with them, and try out some different ways of solving the problem.
